Verdict

GIN PALACE has been in excellent form this season since switching to turf and he can land his third win of the campaign here. He has gone up 3lb for his latest success at Windsor but that is unlikely to be enough to stop him from putting his nose in front once again. Medieval has been running consistently well without victory this season and he can be expected to once again be in the mix here, while Marshal Dan will need to produce a career best if he is to follow up from his success here over 7f but expect him to be in the frame at the very least.
  1. Gin Palace
  2. Medieval
  3. Marshal Dan
