Verdict

A field large in numbers, but not many have chances on there recent form. Intox III is taken to score he is taking a drop in class and a step up in trip and with the champion AP McCoy on board he will be hard to beat. Jenski won a similar race in good style at Plumpton last time out when defeating Entertainer. That was on heavy ground and he may not be as well suited to this faster surface. Drakestone would have a chance on his best form but he has a long absence to overcome. Devote is well in on his best form but he has become disappointing of late, and his best form is also with more cut in the ground. Backview has been in good form of late and was a good second behind Standing Bloom last time he will be a danger to all despite top weight. The Fenman was second behind Lord Pat last time at Market Rasen and he to could run well at a big price.
