Verdict

BEARWITH might not get away with a very slow start around here but he's undoubtedly on a good turf mark judged on his AW form (successful again at Southwell 3 weeks ago) and has to be the call. Chantico and Giselles Defence are a couple of the other likely players.

  1. BEARWITH
  2. CHANTICO
  3. GISELLES DEFENCE (IRE)
