In depth
Verdict
Not a race to get heavily involved in particularly with the range of jockeyship on view. However, Bigwig should go close on his hat-trick bid having won his last two over this course and distance and still looks fairly treated on the pick of his form. The nine-year-old won't lack from assistance in the saddle and looks the one to beat in his current form. Both Tasbok and Fare Dealing have ben knocking on the door and won't be far away but Bigwig may prove too strong.
