        Verdict

        Golden Measure, George Stubbs and Spring Breeze are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to George Stubbs. The selection was a fair fourth behind Ego Trip last time out doing all his best work at the finish. The step up in trip will suit and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Golden Measure rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Millennium Hall and he is another that will relish the extra distance. Spring Breeze is another that could go well but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when well beaten behind Vicious Prince last time out. Of the remainder the booking of Kevin Darley for late Arrival catches the eye and he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to George Stubbs who will appreciate this longer trip.
