Verdict

GOSSIPING was an impressive winner last time out and he may have more to give this season. Having only gone up 3lb he is difficult to oppose. The Warrior looked a little unlucky in his run on that day and he may be able to get a little closer to that rival while Shady Mccoy has run well here before and gets the services of the 2016 Champion Jockey. Mutawathea offers a pace angle with very little obvious competition for the lead in the line up.
  1. Gossiping
  2. The Warrior
  3. Shady Mccoy
