Verdict

Trainer Paul Nicholls has won this race eight times in the last 12 years and his MASTER TOMMYTUCKER is taken to provide the handler with a victory in this years renewal. The selection still held claims when coming down in Grade 1 company here on his most recent outing and he can get the better of his rivals here with Commanche Red, a C&D winner on his latest outing capable of getting the better of Who Dares Wins in the battle for second spot,
  1. Master Tommytucker
  2. Commanche Red
  3. Who Dares Wins
