In depth

Verdict

Louphole gets the confident vote here with Egyptian Lord and Effective rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating George The Second and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and he is taken to defy the handicaper under conditions that suit. Egyptian Lord rates the main danger on his latest win over Figaro Flyer but he has yet to win over a trip this far. Effective is another that could go well but he has had plenty of chances off similar marks of late without taking one and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder Orpsie Boy has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Louphole.
