Verdict

NOVAK has gone from strength-to-strength in recent months, completing a hat-trick (all under this rider) over 6f here in June. With the return to 7f holding no fears he could well be up to completing the 4-timer. Fellow last-time-out winner Gainsbourg is a threat provided the blinkers prove as effective again. The Jim Goldie trained-pair Classy Al and American Affair are others in the mix.
