Verdict

Both the course standing-dish Beyondtemptation and the Brian Hughes-ridden Zig Zag are confirmed front-runners, with Endless Credit and Fisher Green also generally most productive when racing prominently, so there's every likelihood that this race will be a true test of stamina. That brings the newly cheekpieced Steel Wave into contention (stays 2m4f plus), and also the hold-up horse MANAMITE. Although failing to deliver the goods at Newcastle and high enough in the weights, given such a scenario it's perfectly feasible that this race might just fall his way.
  1. Manamite
  2. Steel Wave
  3. Zig Zag
