      Verdict

      Iverian has a huge advantage on the official BHB figures for the race and should take all the beating if he runs up to previous form. However, he is most effective when there is some cut in the ground and is not one to go overboard about in what may become a match for tactics. Monte Cristo has questions to answer with regard to his stamina over the trip so Far Dawn is forwarded as the sporting bet to cause a minor upset. He goes well on the ground and is fresher than his two rivals.
