      Verdict

      Earthmover, who has been a revelation this season, can make it five wins from six runs this year. On his other run, he was fourth in the Foxhunter Chase, a race he won in 1998, and is the only course and distance winner in the contest. He can land his 15th career win at the expense of the Foxhunter fifth Justin Mac.
