Verdict

A Mark Johnston representative has won this three times in recent years including last season's renewal and SENNOCKIAN STAR looks to have every chance. The latter just failed to land a hat trick at Newmarket last week and a similar effort could see him come out best against his elders. Most of Vasily's penalty for winning at Nottingham is negated by an apprentice's allowance but he's still facing a tough task under a heavy burden as is Viewpoint. But the Hannon charge should have come on for last month's recent reappearance at Newmarket and makes more appeal than Tenure, who looks up against it in this grade.
