Verdict

VIRNON looks well suited by this surface and in a race that doesn’t look that deep he may well be able to follow-up his recent victory here. Sugarloaf Mountain is sure to pick up a handicap at some point but the surface is an unknown here as it is for Ascendant who looks to have found some form of late. Scrafton is another one to note but he can be a rather tricky ride and isn’t sure to find much in a battle.
