A wide open contest here, with many holding chances. Water Stratford is a course winner over a shorter trip but he may struggle under top weight to last home. Young American, from a bang in-form yard, showed improved form on faster ground last time and with conditions again in his favour he looks the one to be on. Helixir Du Theil has improved with a step up in trip on recent outings but he looks in the handicappers grip.
