This is the most difficult event on the card and a tentative vote is given to Hill Forts Henry, with Another Promise and Red Ensign two of many dangers. Hill Fort Henry is an out and out stayer who has had many chances in the past, however this does appear to be a very weak contest and he could be good enough to get his head in front. Another Promise has to shoulder top-weight but if he can build on his seasonal debut fourth at Lingfield he could be a major player here. Red Ensign ended last season with a fair effort over course and distance and if fit could be capable of taking a hand in the finish. Loyola is another to consider on bits and pieces of form, but with not too much confidence Hill Forts Henry is taken to land first prize.
