Verdict

A case can be made for plenty here so at the likely odds it could be worth chancing OAKMONT to gain an overdue first victory given he figures on an attracitve mark and should be all the better for a recent spin on the Flat. Dubai Days is on a roll so sure to have a big say despite a 12 lb hike in the weights for his Wetherby success, with Cedar Hill much respected too back in this sphere.
