Verdict

Numerous course and distance winners here including the back-to-form pair Verhoyen and Ice Cold In Alex, both winners four times around here. John Quinn sent Mr Wagyu over from Yorkshire to beat Big Gossey on this track in July and the pair have to be on the shortlist while David O'Meara's GULLIVER (NAP) was a couple of lengths behind the latter here in September, with Laugh A Minute also close up, and has been handed an opportunity by the assessor. Another UK handler, Declan Carroll, places his horses well so True Mason is one to note at the bottom of the weights while Gordon Bennett has really found his form though a 9lb rise may put an end to his winning streak. Power Under Me has been racing exclusively in Listed and Group company but has a huge burden here.
