Verdict
There are several confirmed front-runners in this so a strong pace looks guaranteed. AL MUFFRIH should be able to grab the lead from his rails draw and can hold off all-comers as he is slowly getting to grips with this longer trip. Glencadam Glory will likely be suited by the way the race is run and is handicapped to get involved and Groveman is clearly in good heart. Conditions may be quicker than ideal for most of the others.
