        Verdict

        With seven course winners in the field this looks competitive but preference goes to Arc El Ciel ahead of Ronny From Donny and the cleverly named Noble Locks. The selection won a classified event at this track on the back of a long absence last time out and if he remains in the same mood will take all the beating despite not having the best of draws. Ronny From Donny rarely runs a bad race at this track and although this may not be his ideal distance he is consistent enough to trouble the first choice here. Noble Locks is another who reserves his best for this track and although needing to defy a longish break should come here ready. On balance it should pay to follow the likely favourite Arc El Ciel to shoulder top weight to victory.
