Verdict
Plenty of out of form sorts but the verdict goes to Julie's Leader. Paul Nicholls has enjoyed particular success when downgrading his horses into low grade and the recent Fontwell winner is anticipated to follow-up. Polar Champ is useful on his day and has at least scored in this grade previously. He is difficult to place nowadays and it would be no surprise to see him go close. Good Lord Murphy hasn't won for three years and his recent performances have been little to write home about. Kingsdown Trix wont be a 50/1 shot this time around but has something to prove against better opposition.
