This should be a stroll in the park for Fearless Spirit with Barnbrook Empire and Senior Whim worth keeping an eye on. Fearless Spirit ran with great credit at Newmarket last time out when finishing an eye catching fifth of nineteen. This looks a lot easier and he will not have to be at his best to win this. Barnbrook Empire has been running well all season in different quality races. He ran well to finish sixth in a big field at Epsom last time out and can run well again here. Senior Whim looks exposed on what he has achieved to date and looks a little outclassed again so is worth avoiding. So for the winner we return to Fearless Spirit.
