    Verdict

    Coach Lane makes the long journey up from the south and can follow up a recent success, Kilmackilloge and Birdwatch could provide most danger. The Venetia Williams trained five-year-old was most impressive when beating Native Commander at Lingfield. There were some experienced handicappers behind that day and so the form does have a solid look about it and with more improvement to come this novice can go in again. Kilmackilloge was very impressive when beating subsequent winner Terlan. That was after quite a break as well so there could be more to come. Birdwatch has been well beaten in better races. This is more his level and he could play a major role. Rogues Gallery is from a top yard and looks a better prospect than the only other runner The Biker, but we return to Coach Lane as the likely winner.
