Verdict
There are six runners rated in excess of 75 in this contest suggesting that this is an above average race for the grade. Fat Boy is the highest rated runner with a mark of 100 to his name still but it's doubtful as to whether he can run close to that level on debut for a new yard; perhaps the market can guide. Excusez Moi is more than capable but often gives ground away at the start and a more reliable option may prove to be KING'S WONDER; he's not ideally drawn for one that races prominently but he should be able to get across and can make the frame at worst. Sunrise Safari and Vhujon need things to go their way to a degree but Orpenindeed is respected whilst support for Melody In The Mist would be of interest in a competitive heat.
