Verdict
The last two winners of this - Mark's Choice and Fortamour – are in the line-up again. The latter is only 2lb higher than 12 months ago and has solid claims again with Iris Dancer and Cooperation also previous course and distance winners. ASADJUMEIRAH is fit from a campaign on the all-weather and on a fair mark on Turf at present so should give supporters a run for their money. Touchwood also has a squeak having a first run for Ruth Carr and Selby's Pride is another to consider. The lightly-raced Sir Winston has been a beaten favourite three times in a row but is likely to attract market support again and can’t be ignored.
