In depth
Verdict
Another wide open contest in which many have chances and a high draw could be very beneficial. Archirondel has been in fair form of late he was a good second to Baringo a couple of runs ago and if he can reproduce that form he should go close but his low draw is a major concern. Bressbee won well at Haydock last time out when defeating Apache Point and if he can reproduce that effort on slightly faster ground he should go close. Arpeggio also ran well last time out when second behind Locombe Hill and he has a fair draw and generally runs well in big fields. Must Be Magic is well in on his best form and appears to be coming to hand after a good fourth last time. Escalade is also sure to run well as he will have the fast pace through out and he will be staying on when others have cried enough. It's Our Secret would also have a major chance if the rain came having ran two good races in defeat with cut in the ground. Jubalani is also one to consider off a light weight.
