Verdict

There are a few recent winners in this contest who are likely to continue on their upward trajectory. Mensen Ernst is not one of those, but he is a big player after finishing second to Big City on debut. The latter had the benefit of experience then, and with the former now receiving weight from that rival he should be able to reverse the form. Although the form of the race World Title won at Beverley hasn't been particularly well advertised by the second, he should still be able to win plenty more races in the future. However, the selection is GOVERNOR OF PUNJAB who comfortably made all last time and with similar tactics employed again, he could be tough to pass.
  1. Governor Of Punjab
  2. World Title
  3. Mensen Ernst
