A top notch renewal of this contest, preference is for MIN, who was merciless over this intermediate trip last season. He has been seen to good effect when fresh and he sets the form standard on his Grade 1 form last season. Presenting Percy was ultimately disappointing in the Gold Cup when seen however there were excuses for that but will be racing over further in time. The likes of Real Steel and Shattered Love have some classy form in the book, but have tended to be found wanting at the highest level each time.
