Verdict
His Dream is a trifle inconsistent but has claims in a race like this with his stamina proven. West To Crossgales is in decent form and the champion has been booked but he’s climbing the ratings despite not winning. Cottonvale also looks too high in the weights now and It's For Alan is 2lb higher than when second at Bangor in June but course winner Sinakar shouldn’t be far away again. POLISHED ROCK is running well enough to get involved, with Luca Morgan’s claim a major plus, so Johnny Farrelly’s charge gets the nod.
