In depth
Verdict
Another wide open contest. Wensleydale Lad is from a yard in good form and he was a fair fourth behind Blonde En Blonde in a similar race. If he reproduces that effort he will be hard to beat. Proud Victor rates the main danger. He finished in mid-division in a much better race behind Chandelier last time and this looks a less competitive race. Silver Kris is from a yard that does well here but his best form has been on firm ground on turf. On sand he has failed to reproduce that effort. Maunby Rocker is another worthy of consideration but he has disappointed of late. Fairly High could also go well at a big price with his yard in top form.
