Verdict

A good quality renewal in which several hold solid claims; not least Arthur's Gift, who has a lot in his favour and is the preferred runner from a yard which excels in these races. Alternatives include: Dawson City, who stays well and arrives in good form, Milansbar who also appreciates a stamina test and has the heart for a battle, while Ms Parfois is a tough campaigner who can carry a big weight. Nevertheless, preference goes to BALLYDINE, who acts on the ground, is in good form, and is still open to further improvement at the trip.
