Verdict

Paul Midgley has a decent hand to play here with 2017 winner Line Of Reason joined by FINAL VENTURE and Captain Colby. The first-named is respected but the selection tends to run well off a break and isn't badly treated on the best of last year's efforts. He should take to this track and is fancied to run well. Also returned from a layoff is A Momentofmadness, consistent last year and well worth forgiving a flop on soft going at Ascot when last spotted. Savalas and the race-fit Saaheq go on the shortlist for this tough test, with Copper Knight and Marnie James considered for place money.
  1. Final Venture
  2. A Momentofmadness
  3. Saaheq
