Verdict

A dismal looking affair which despite the strong numerical turnout will take little winning. Zephyr has had plenty of attempts to break his duck, but assuming the ground doesn't slip past the forecast good (softer) would hold reasonable claims based upon his Taunton April effort having competed in stronger races lately. However, ARISTOCRACY receives a fair chunk of weight from his same aged rival, and with his Bangor effort franked by conqueror Plantagenet can provide Fergal O'Brien with another winner assuming he stays the longer trip as would appear likely.
