Verdict

A few in with chances but the vote goes to POPMASTER, who turned in his best effort of the year when going down by just a short head at Newbury last month and Ed Walker's grey looks potentially well treated back at a course he goes particularly well at. Haymaker possibly didn't handle the idiosyncrasies of Epsom last time, so he's put forward as the main threat back on a more conventional track, while Temple Bruer and Ingra Tor can battle for minor honours.
