Six of the last seven runnings of this have gone to southern raiders and
WAR OF SUCCESSION is given the vote to add to that roll of honour. Andrew Balding's gelding has been a little disappointing so far this term, but the ground looks to have been a valid excuse last time and this looks a weak enough race to get him off the mark, with blinkers a probable positive.
Luminous will have to improve to challenge the selection, but she is clearly less exposed and can't be dismissed out of hand, while
William Booth looks the other most likely player when the chips are down.
