Verdict

The short list contains Primo Way, Joseph Henry and Stoic Leader, with the vote going to Primo Way. Recent course and distance winner Primo Way returns to the course on a mark from which he has won before so rates as a leading player today. From an in-form yard, Joseph Henry comes here following a very good run at Newbury on Saturday, while Jubilee Street is not far above a winning mark. Stoic Leader undoubtedly holds good claims on the best of his 2005 form. Nashaab not being as good as he was and the others needing career-best efforts in order to score, we return to the selection, which is Primo Way.
