Verdict
This is a wide open contest and it is dificult to rule anyone of these out with any real conviction. A chance is taken that Blue Night, who steps up to a more suitable trip after a good effort last time, can take advantage of a good draw in stall three. He acts equally as well on turf as well as the all weather and is one to bear in mind when drawing up the shortlist. Mr Wensleydale and Branston Tiger are others to consider if supported in the market.
