    Verdict

    Kingkohler is our pick although Drift Away and Ramblees Holly are to be respected. Kevin Morgan has always held this horse in high regard and he has been perhaps a little unlucky in meeting the likes of Transit during the summer. He has a high cruising speed and can defy top-weight on this occasion. Drift Away won an above-average maiden at Down Royal. If he is fit enough on reappearance the market will no doubt speak volumes. Ramblees Holly loves fast ground but this looks trickier than his recent race at Wetherby. Apadi is plenty exposed and will doubtless run his race. Red Flyer is expensive to follow while Mister Chisum undergoes a "change of jockey" in an attempt to gain the win that he has threatened for some time. Kingkohler has the class and gets our support in the finale.
