Verdict

Wind Flow can land the finale at the expense of Steig and Just Intersky. The selection carries a six pound penalty after winning over course and distance last time out. Having said that he still has bottom weight to carry as he continues to step up in class. He looks the type to continue to improve and if doing so again he has to be sided with. Steig is nothing but consistent and was seen to good effect at Wolverhampton last week. He is a rare flat runner for Carl Llewellyn and has to be respected coming into this race in such fine form. Just Intersky has top weight to carry but caught the eye when second to Sun of The Sea at Lingfield last time so any market support should be noted coming from a gambling yard. but for the winner we return to Wind Flow.
