Verdict

Last year's winner Burnt Sugar has been better than ever this season and while he holds strong claims again here, he may prove vulnerable to one a little better handicapper. SAFE VOYAGE is a fascinating contender with just a 2lb rise for his latest effort and if he can settle better than he did last time, he may improve past his rivals here. There's no shortage of dangers but Master Speaker makes some appeal after a smart run last time and he gets the hugely talented Colin Keane for company in the saddle.
