Verdict
This Listed race has provided rich pickings for the Hannon yard down the years so easy Chester winner Wedding Date will be popular with Ryan Moore taking the reins. Blown By Wind made amends for a shock defeat on his second start at Windsor by making all at Ascot but a high draw has not done him any favours. Konchek justified market support at Newmarket and was going away at the finish but the second was well beaten next time. Tim Easterby wouldn’t have sent VINTAGE BRUT down south for this without good reason. He thumped a subsequent winner by seven lengths on his debut at Thirsk and has the plum draw – this stiff track should be ideal. Kinks hasn’t done much wrong so far but this is a big step up for Artair and Sabre.
