A competitive event as you would expect for this valuable prize. Zibeline has been running well this term without cutting much ice and he would have to turn in a personal best off this 4lb higher mark. Elgria is another who has been in cracking form this summer having won three races, but as a consequence he is now 20lbs higher than when gaining the first of those victories and that looks enough to anchor him, while the consistent Typhoon Tilly will be hoping that the ground remains on the fast side. John Dunlop, who won this last year, relies on another three-year-old in the shape of Rahwaan, who is a progressive colt, and his beating of subsequent winner Mamcazma has a solid look to it. He is certain to give a good account. However, the vote goes to the northern trained filly Timing, who has done nothing but improve since stepping up in trip. She has already won twice for her young apprentice and she is taken to land this prestigeous prize for the Easterby yard.
