Verdict

Last year's victor CALL ME GINGER looks to have arrived in peak form again and can complete a quick hat-trick after stylish recent successes at Chester and Ascot. The Big Board could find this intermediate trip to his liking and is feared most, although Significantly is another who could shine at this distance and merits serious consideration. Vintage Clarets, Kimngrace and Aberama Gold complete the shortlist in a fiercely competitive renewal of the Portland.
