In depth
Verdict
Another small but competitive field. Flint River was a good winner over course and distance last time out when defeating Urban Myth. He has risen in the weights for that victory but he won in the style of an improver and he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Prince Tulum rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Del Mar Sunset and despite giving weight all round, he will not be far away with his stable continuing in fine form. Pharoah's Gold is also worthy of consideration he won well last time out but his best AW form is at Southwell. Bocaccio would have a chance on his best form but he has shown very little of late. Of the remainder Sinjaree was a fair sort a couple of seasons ago and he will strip a lot fitter today than he did last time out.Any market move could be significant.
