Verdict

This will take little winning and it would come as no surprise if Haymarket could add to last year's haul. On this occasion the concession of 8lb to the in-form GONE WITH THE WIND may prove too much. The selection comes form a yard having a good week and his style of running is suited to how this race will be run. New Abbey Angel is a frustrating sort who is hard to win with, but could achieve yet another podium finish.
  1. Gone With The Wind
  2. Haymarket
