Verdict

A competitive staying handicap with the vote in favour of OLD PORT. David Evans' charge has gone from strength-to-strength in all-weather handicaps since the turn of the year, gaining his fourth win from 5 starts at Wolverhampton in April, and he may have more to offer now his stamina is drawn out further. The hat-trick seeking pair Spirit Mixer and Heart of Soul head up the dangers, whilst Liverpool Knight is also worth a look on debut for his new yard.
