A competitive affair rounds off proceedings, in which many can be given chances on their best form. The TEAMtalk selection is Field Master. The Foxhound gelding has won his last two races on this track in the style of a horse ahead of the handicapper, and despite his rise in the weights he is taken to score again. Intox III rates the main danger, having had every chance when brought down at Newbury recently in a race won by Telmar Prince. A reproduction of that form would see him go close. Christopher has never won in a grade this high but hails from a yard in fine form, and if his fall last time out has not affected his confidence he has definite place claims. Sarasota Storm has claims on his best form, but he has a lengthy absence to overcome and his best form is on a faster surface
