Verdict
Withhold made the most of favourable terms when landing this Listed event last year but MILDENBERGER has the edge at the weights today. Mark Johnston’s charge hasn’t race since June but found only stablemate Nayef Road too good in a Group 3 at Newcastle on that occasion and this looks easier. Ranch Hand has a bit to find with Withhold but Ghostwatch may do better over this longer trip having failed to figure in the Ebor at York last time. Sleeping Lion has a tough task on these terms while Listed bumper winner Who What When debuts in this code.
