Verdict

A competitive affair with a mixture of form but once again the draw may come into play here with those with pace and a high draw being favoured. ENTERTAINING BEN tried to force the pace at Newcastle last time and those tactics are very hard to pull off there but he may have more success in that scenario here from stall 10. Awesome Allan and Bellevarde can both be given a chance here although neither are rock solid the low draw not being ideal for the latter of that duo to get the front from. Roundabout Magic deserves a mention after his win at Brighton last time while the multiple AW winner A Sure Welcome will do well to win from stall 1.
  1. Entertaining Ben
  2. Bellevarde
  3. Awesome Allan
