In depth

Verdict

Key Partners gets the confident vote in the finale with Raydan and Mixing rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Fenners, that form looks solid in the context of this race and despite his penalty he looks the one to be on. Raydan rates the main danger as he beat Jarvo last time out but he has since been disappointing over hurdles so cannot be put forward with much confidence. Mixing is another last time out winner that could go well but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Of the remainder Prince of Medina has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be fancied Key Partners is our idea of the winner.
