Verdict
Another tricky race for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Effie Gray, Lord Of The Land and In Good Faith and we will take a chance on Lord Of The Land. The ten year old was a fair third in a better race behind Rambles Holly last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Effie Gray rates the main danger she was a good third behind Warlinghamsharpish last time and she looks to be on a fair mark here. In Good Faith was second behind Milan King last time out and is another worthy of respect but his best form of late has come over slightly longer trips. Of the remainder Magic Box would have a chance at his best but he was very disappointing last time so we will side with Lord Of The Land.
