Verdict

The Tom Lacey-trained SIR EGBERT looked a jumper with a big future when winning a Newbury handicap as a five-year-old with future winners Utility and New Millennium in behind. The Kayf Tara gelding subsequently suffered a couple of defeats but can bounce back here on seasonal debut with the booking of champion jockey Richard Johnson in the plate a major positive. C&D winners Yorkist and Theflyingportrait who landed this contest 12 months ago can provide the biggest resistance to the selection. The Phillip Hobbs-trained Ecu De La Noverie appears capable of hitting the frame while a return to form for Top Gamble would not surprise.
  1. Sir Egbert
  2. Yorkist
  3. Theflyingportrait
