Verdict
Woodwool gets the verdict in a tricky finale, Ninth House and Grande Roche should provide most danger. Henry Candy doesn't have too many runners on the all-weather so this half-sister to multiple winner Jazzy Millennium has to be given every respect. She wasn't knocked about on her debut here and is expected to improve for the run. Ninth House has strong claims on his debut effort at Windsor, if he handles this artificial surface. The same applies to Grande Roche who boasts some decent turf form including a second behind the Willie Jarvis trained Papality. Layed Back Rocky has bits and pieces of form to warrant a little look, but in what could be a three horse war Woodwool gets our vote.
