Verdict

None of these are blessed with a turn of foot and the course record holder will be able to sleep safe for another night. However, Alchemistic has some useful form to his name over this sort of trip and his proven stamina swings the vote in his favour over Mark Of Zorro, What You See and Let's Party. The selection is also a proven weight carrier and will have no problems on the predicted lively ground. Alchemistic also hails from a yard that are returning to some kind of form of late and his staying ability is taken to win the day.
