Verdict
Corrib Eclipse, One Off and Pushkin look the three to concentrate on in this stayers race and the confident vote goes to Corrib Eclipse. The selection is taking a big drop in grade and even a reproduction of his latest effort which saw him finish sixth behind dead heaters Kasthari and Millenary should suffice. He has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. One Off rates the main danger as he finished in mid-division behind Holy Orders last time and should appreciate the step up in trip - he is from a yard in form and is a danger to all. Pushkin would have a chance on his best form but he was last of 20 behind Defining last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Vicars Destiny was a fair second behind Master Wells last time and has definite place claims but he will need to improve to defeat the selection Corrib Eclipse.
