        Verdict

        Sowdrey, Mystic Storm and Valance are three against the field in a wide open finale and the tentative nomination is given to Sowedry, The selection was a fair second behind Hatton Flight last time out. That form looks solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Mystic Storm rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Tifinarti. The booking of Ryan Moore is an obvious plus but he looks vulnerable under his big weight. Valance is another that could go well but he often finds less than expected off the bridle. Synonymy was a fair third behind Mister Completely last time and is another with place claims but that form has since been let down. Of the remainder Bob's Your Uncle is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for the weinner we return to Sowedry.
