Verdict

Despite the conditions this should be run at a good clip with plenty that like to race prominently amongst them one of the market Siruh Du Lac likely to be very much amongst then with his jumping prowess sure to keep him in the mix. Nigel Twiston-Davies has won this three times since 2008, most recently with Splash Of Ginge who tries again but the same yard have a better chance with Count Meribel who looks to have a good profile for this race. Spiritofthegames looks to have been laid out for this and must be respected but overall the vote goes to SPRINGTOWN LAKE back off his last winning mark. Slate House and Us And Them are two others who can’t be left out of the equation.
  1. Springtown Lake
  2. Spiritofthegames
  3. Count Meribel
