Verdict

MEDALLA DE ORO failed to land cramped odds at Southwell in July, but he's been given a break and is clearly capable of winning a race like this. Cormier has been in top form for weeks now and may have more to offer as a hurdler, so he's the chief threat under a penalty, with Dragon Sun a likely-looking NH newcomer.
