Verdict
Course and distance winner KORKER is the class act and deserves his place at the the head of the weights. He ran a cracker at the Dante meeting when just failing to come from last to first in a hot sprint and has a strong chance of recompense with Jamin claiming his useful 3lb allowance. He needs everything to drop just right with his hold-up tactics over the minimum distance but hopefully the gaps will appear and his quality will prevail. Bedford Flyer and Mondammej are dangerous as they were just behind the selection last time, both are better off with the topweight and there's little between the three on the book. Music Society, improving with each race this term, is shortlisted along with the prolific Reigning Profit who now steps up considerably in grade after his winning run.
