Not a race to be dogmatic about as with the exception of Omni Cosmo Touch who has refused to race in his last three intended starts, the remainder each has a chance if producing their best. Bow Strada has had his limitations exposed in better company of late but was twice successful in novice company earlier in the season and looks sure to do better at this level while Saffron Sun was an easy winner here last time but will need to show further progress to defy a 13lb rise in the handicap. Potentate showed some signs of a return to form last time but this is tougher so the vote goes to Isam Top who has been placed in similar company on his last two starts and may have further improvement over this longer trip.
