Rowland Ward (5/4), Seeusoon (5/2), Prefontaine (4/1), Lord Lamington (7/1), Queen Constantine (16/1), Tidal Point (33/1)

Verdict

The recent Doncaster winner Rowland Ward is clearly on the upgrade, responding willingly for pressure when fending off an outsider on Town Moor, shaping as if a step up in trip could be within range. Both Lord Lamington and Seeusoon are previous AW winners who arguably must prove themselves as being equally effective on turf, with clear doubts about the latter in particular on a sound racing surface. Therefore, the advice is to plump for the reappearing top-weight PREFONTAINE who has a pedigree stacked full of stamina, and the potential to make up into a nice staying handicapper for the Master of Carlburg Stables Roger Varian.
  1. Prefontaine
  2. Rowland Ward
  3. Lord Lamington
