Verdict

Henry Daly holds a strong hand in this marathon slog with both his Back To The Thatch and The Artful Cobbler in good form this season and they should be thereabouts. A chance is taken though on outsider BILLY BRONCO from the yard that won this race two years ago. He is completely unexposed in handicap company over this trip, handles conditions, and the way he kept on last time suggests he may well last out this 4m2f. There are a host of others who could go well, with the likes of Get On The Yager and West Of The Edge respected along with Alfie Spinner, Hainan and Silsol.
