Verdict
Rowe Park, Tax Free and Judd Street look the principal contenders here, with Rowe Park taken to continue his winning form. Amazingly tried over a mile and a half on his debut, Rowe Park has justifiably got the tag of the most improved horse in training as his handicap rating has precisely doubled from 55 in a year. His win at Newbury last time was in a classy contest and he can follow up here. Dandy Nicholls' Tax Free will be a tough nut to crack though, having won four times this season, two of them Group Three successes. His win over the course and distance in the Palace House Stakes in May advertises his liking for the track. Judd Street is six pounds better off for a length and a half beating by Rowe Park at Newbury and must go close. He is a consistent performer and took a valuable Haydock handicap this summer. Rowe Park can continue his remarkable success story here.
