Verdict

The owner/trainer combination (Marwan Koukash/Ian Williams) that captured this race in 2018 have a couple of shot at doing so again via Heart Of Soul and Arabist with the former looking to have the much stronger chance on the back of his Hamilton win. This scenario looks a little different though and he may not get a strong pace to aim at although the owner also third chance via Gabrial The One who is proven here and looks in good form. EDINBURGH CASTLE can finally get the job done though after suggesting he can win something like this on a couple of occasions. Flood Defence is in good form but faces a stiff task in a bid to complete her hat-trick off a career-high mark.
