Colorus is the selection to land the finale where Mr Wolf and Mormeatmic could well emerge as the biggest dangers. Without a victory since May of last year, Colorus just found Misaro too good at Doncaster last time and although that resulted in a 3lb hike, the five year old should be in the shake up. Mr Wolf bids for his sixth course victory here and is very well handicapped judged on his best form. If the market speaks in Mormeatmics's favour it should certainly be noted as he is another whos rating has taken a tumble. He was unfortunate to have raced in the wrong group last time, finishing in front on his side but finding two on the far side getting home in front of him. He is certainly one for the shortlistwhile City For Conquest, a recent all-weather has place claims under his penalty. Colorus is the pick to land it.
