Hardly any strength in depth here and this looks to boil down to a match between THE GREAT WALL and Beyond Recall. Both have the form to win this but the former has a pedigree that looks better suited to Fibresand and is given the nod. The race for the minor placing may be more competitive although none of the remaining five look very inviting as betting propositions with a chance taken that Riverside Bridge may show a little more on this surface given his pedigree despite the trip.
