In depth
Verdict
A small but competitive field go to post for this feature event on the card. See More Business is taken to score again. The evergreen 13 year old won well at Chepstow when defeating Bindaree. He looks sure to get an easy lead and he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. First Gold rates the main danger but he was very disappointing behind Beef Or Salmon last time on heavy ground and he has yet to convince he still has as much ability as he once had. Iris Blue won very easily at Sandown last time out when defeating Frosty Canyon and he deserves to take his chance in this grade but it may just find him out. Banner Gale and Zaggy Lane look outclassed.
