Another cracking renewal of this Grade 2 event and one in which
WATERLORD gets the nod. Donald McCain has trained the winner of this race twice in the past decade, so he knows what is required and his seven-year-old acts here and on heavy ground, while he looked potentially exciting when scoring here last time.
First Flow is of similar ilk, though if being very picky, he perhaps didn't beat that much at Newbury last time. He is feared nonetheless, while
Midnight Shadow and
Lostintranslation look the two next best on what they have achieved so far.
