In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest where the market will prove the best guide but it will take a good one to beat Major Option who won a similar contest with the minimum of fuss at Fontwell and he will be very hard to beat despite his penalty. Yellow Star is from a top yard and is worth a look in the market. Paperprophet is related to a fair miler in Missed Flight and he to is from a shrewd yard. Dusty Too is from a predominantly flat yard and is worth a look in the betting. Master Elect is also well bred but this Phardante gelding may do better when the onus is more on stamina.
