In depth
Verdict
Taking makes far too many jumping error's to be of any interest, while Mister Graham also looks to have enough on his plate from out of the handicap. This trip is the bare minmum for Stanmore and he may find one or two a bit sharp for him. Harfdecent hasn't won for two and a half years and looks to have lost his way, so that just leaves Specialize, who is effective over this trip and on the likely fast ground.
