Verdict

Mister Elegant, Hephaestus and Davids Mark are three against the field in a wide-open affair with the nomination going to Mister Elegant. The selection was a fair third behind Ruman last time out. That form looks solid and with the step up in trip also in his favour he looks the one to be on. Hephaestus rates the main danger on his latest third behind Sofinella but he is hard to win with. Davids Mark was in front of the selection last time but is not sure to be suited by this longer trip. Christian Bendix was a fair fifth behind Union Jack Jackson last time but he now looks weighted up to his best. Blessed Place has been done no favours by the draw and for the winner we return to Mister Elegant.
