Verdict

It will be some feat if Richard Fahey can win this for the fourth year in a row but Viva Ronaldo arrives in fine form and could go close. Aerodynamic, Jungle Bay and Sound Amigo have also been running well on the all-weather and are worthy of consideration, though Count Bertoni was taking advantage of a lower mark on the Polytrack when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and is 11lb higher today. Silvery Moon ended last season with a success at Ayr and has claims on his reappearance, but the vote goes to ELLIE IN THE PINK who rattled up a hat-trick on turf last autumn and will have come on for her recent comeback at Kempton.
