Verdict
Bid For Fame has been in consistent form this term but may not be ideally suited by this longer trip and looks a shade too high at the weights. King Flyer is on a winning mark and should give another good account while Gold Standard will be sharper for his recent return. Inch Perfect had his limitations exposed off his current mark last time and may struggle at this level.
