Verdict

Tusk who won well last time out is from a stable in good form loves the fast ground and he looks the one to be on in a tricky affair. Fort Mchenry won well at Epsom last time out is well thought of and he looks the main danger. Laggan Bay is from a yard that is carrying all before them in two year old races and should not be underestimated.
