Verdict

This could well be prime for one of the 3-y-os to come to the fore, with EXPLODE narrowly selected to give James Ferguson a second consecutive victory in this race. A facile winner at Salisbury on his most recent start, he's bred to be suited by this sort of trip and an opening mark of 85 certainly doesn't look insurmountable on the pick of his form. Fellow 3-y-os Muhaajim and Munsif are others on the shortlist, with prolific scorer Crowd Quake and Rogue Impact others factored into calculations.

  1. EXPLODE (FR)
  2. MUHAAJIM
  3. MUNSIF (IRE)
