Verdict

Another marathon contest on testing ground to look forward to at this venue and none of this field relishes such a scenario more than EMPEROR'S CHOICE, who gets the vote after a handy 3lb drop and a run under his belt. Whiskey Chaser has to be taken seriously after winning here last time and along with Gold Opera could have a say if his stamina holds up. Lesson In Milan is respected, while Harry The Viking is back in form again and on a winning mark so, although he is hours away from his 13th birthday, another good run is anticipated.
  1. Emperor's Choice
  2. Whiskey Chaser
  3. Harry The Viking
