In depth
Verdict
Branston Tiger gets the confident vote with Prince Of Gold and Italian Mist rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Baylaw Star and although he has a penalty for that win he is running against some mainly out of sort rivals. He has conditions to suit and from a good draw he is taken to score. Prince Of Gold rates the main danger as he has dropped to a handy mark and showed signs of a revival despite being well beaten last time out. The return to this trip will suit and he will not be far away. Italian Mist is another worthy of respect as he is also on a fair mark and will appreciate the step back up to this trip. Of the remainder Noul has the ability to go close but he may just need the run after a 250 day absence. Of the remainder Chickado was second behind Inch By Inch last time but this looks more competitive and for the winner we return to the in form Branston Tiger.
