No shortage of chances in a typically competitive renewal. POLE STAR enhanced his form further when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Yarmouth 4 weeks ago and he gets the narrow vote with further progress anticipated. Andrew Balding has won this twice since 2020 and holds strong claims again with low-mileage pair Tarriance and Fantasy World. Golden Handshake representing William Haggas and Novelista are just a couple of others to consider.
