The pacy New Road Side could blow this race apart from the front and will expose any flaws in her eight rivals, with VIMY RIDGE best set to profit should such a scenario develop. He's worth chancing despite his poor win record in an open event in which course regulars Royal Brave and Dark Side Dream are much respected. 1. Vimy Ridge 2. Dark Side Dream 3. New Road Side
