Verdict
An open sprint but MARK'S CHOICE could well have been prepared with this contest in mind and gets the vote from a good draw as he loves it here and came good at this time last year - he's back on a decent mark. Holbache have a strong end to the campaign after just a sole start this term and Connor Beasley is an eye-catching booking. Fortamour also has a fine record at this venue and signalled a return to form with a very close second here latest while the likes of Thornaby Pearl, Prince of Bel Lir and Thaki also have a chance at the weights, though Asadjumeirah is preferred to that trio off his current mark.
