Despite the big field quite a few of these arrive in poor form, and ASK THE GURU looks the best option. This seven year old gelding has been in good form recently, and up only 3lb for a recent victory at Brighton he is taken to secure a hat-trick in a race which may not take much winning, provided he doesn't burn himself out by taking others on for the lead early on. Jim Crowley gets on well with The Big Short and he is also respected, as well as Fujin, who may prefer the all-weather but has also run some big races on turf.
