Verdict
A tough race to unravel on paper as none of the field immediately stand out as a clear selection. And it is likely that the betting ring will provide the most solid indications in splitting them up for preference. Valdemars Slot has a good draw and should not be troubled by being upped in trip. His stable are in fair form at present and he is just given the nod over Iloveturtle, who despite holding plenty of ability, is already becoming a frustrating horse to follow.
