Verdict
Newton's Law is the definite form pick on his second in a class 2 handicap at Epsom and looked a handicap snip at Haydock a few days later but reportedly broke a blood vessel when going down narrowly to Lexington Place. FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN just failed to catch Lady Gibraltar at Goodwood and with just a 1lb rise to contend with looks the safest option. Indian Tinker doesn't win very often and wouldn't want the ground too quick while Come On Dave was a bit disappointing at Leicester after a very good run on softer ground at Chester. Imperial Legend hasn't won since 2013 and couldn't get going at Musselburgh after a slow start though wouldn't have been sent on the long journey here without good reason.
