Verdict

Many of these contenders have significant questions to answer so it may be worth siding with a relatively unexposed sort in DUC DE GRISSAY. The seven-year-old has generally progressed in each start and looked to be crying out for a bigger test of stamina at Newcastle last time out. With age on his side too, this could be a good chance to get off the mark. Imperial Knight couldn't of done any worse last time out so may be forgiven for that and holds claims if replicating his Southwell effort, while the likes of Dr Des and the classy Takingrisks have little respite by the handicapper, but the latter is of interest given the way the form of his Newcastle run is turning out.
  1. Duc De Grissay
  2. Imperial Knight
