Verdict
Hopefully nobody will be relying on finding the winner of this to get themselves out of trouble but Future Dominion has been knocking on the door and SEYMOUR ERIC came good at Hereford earlier this month and followed up in a canter at Towcester yesterday. Very much at home on heavy going, the latter will carry a double penalty if turned out again quickly but is probably still the one to beat. Recent Towcester score Bravo Risquet has claims as well and Hexham second Noble Scholar is another to consider and Decent Lord is well enough handicapped if in the right mood but course specialist Dawn Ride looks to have plenty to do under top weight.
