Verdict

Course winner The Worlds End will deserve his place at the head of the market having won twice already this year in graded company turning in game performances each time. However this race has proved a graveyard for favourites with none successful since 2009 (Kasbah Bliss) and it may pay to look elsewhere. EMITOM deserves another chance at this level after disappointing at Cheltenham last time, he’s better than that and he’s got a good chance of lowering the favourites colours. West Approach will need the kid gloves treatment but he’s useful on his day although his overall record sounds a note of caution. Clyne deserves a mention this dual course winner the type to run into a place.
