Verdict
Kentucky Warbler, Acknowledgement and Spinning Coin are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Kentuckey Warbler. The selection won well last time out when beating Nutreon and although rising in the weights he is expected to improve again for the longer trip and with his yard continuing in good form he is taken to win again. Acknowledgement rates the main danger on his latest second behind High Treason but he if far from straight forward and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Spinning Coin is another that could go well on his latest third behind Nero's Return but that form has since been let down and he looks vulnerable under top weight.La Via Ferrata has been running well of late and is another with place claims but this looks her toughest assignment. Of the remainder Gifted Misician looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Kentucky Warbler.
