In depth
Verdict
With no less than nine course and distance winners in the field this looks a minefield for punters who may be best siding with a in form horse. That horse is Neven, who although rising in the weights, looks a horse to follow based on his last three runs which included two wins over this course and distance. Gilden Magic is another horse in form and although yet to try this distance shapes as though he should cope at this shorter trip. Mac's Talisman won his maiden here in January and was not disgraced behind the consistent Sundried Tomato last time out at this track. Fairly weighted he should put up a good account of himself though his outside draw may count against him.
