Another race where the principles are hard to split and Prominent Profile is only a tentative choice to live up to his name. Tyndarius and Left Bank are respected in the claims and could go well for each way players. But El Bandito holds the edge on chase form from last season and is fancied to give the selection the most to do. Although Reflex Courier usually goes well here and can be relied upon to run his race if he is ready to go first time out this term. However, as that is something we will find out post-race, the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Prominent Profile looks to be a more solid option after a good effort behind Monte Christo at Stratford just over a fortnight ago. The 10-year-old showed a good attitude under pressure near the finish on that occasion and, if repeating the display this time around, Prominent Profile will be very difficult to get past today.
