The biggest field of the day to close the card and the draw may well play a significant part here with some of the more fancied runners drawn wide. That could cause problems for the likes of Zylan and Olympic Duel and a low draw and a prominent run style may well be the way to go here. That combination would point the way to FINE EXAMPLE who will appreciate the return to 7f and the blinkers (worn for his last two wins) return here. Clergyman is another of interest although his double figure draw isn’t ideal but he may appreciate the return to 7f and he’s certainly capable of going close off this mark if he gets the run of the race.
