This is a good trial for the AW Championship Marathon. Last year's winner
Watersmeet finished third in the final with
Lord George ahead of him. Those placings were reversed at Kempton in November and the latter is better off at the weights this time, but he has not always convinced in a finish and
STARGAZER may be a better option. The six-year-old is equipped with stamina and speed so has the tools to handle whatever fractions may be set and arrives having posted successive career bests on his last three starts.
Grey Britain and
Spark Plug are useful performers over middle-distances but both may find their stamina stretched if this is truly run.
