Verdict

Birdman is a previous course and distance winner but seems to need further nowadays. The weights suggest NAADIRR is the one to beat and he usually takes on stronger opposition than this. Marco Botti's raider is preferred to recent Haydock second Coulsty, though Sound Advice is back in the right grade and could get his own way out in front. B Fifty Two is capable of springing a surprise if the race develops into a sprint but might struggle to last home off an end-to-end gallop.
