Verdict

Frank Sheridan's Albero di Giuda has to be respected having shown a consistent level of form of late but it is hard to get away from ORANGELEG, who looks the one to beat with the main danger rated as Ardent Prince. Alan McCabe's gelding lost no caste in defeat at Wolverhampton earlier this month over slightly further and he has to be respected although the drop back in trip is of some concern. Always The Sun remains a maiden and has yet to even be placed in any of his 13 starts so he looks best watched, while Rae Guest's Minnola has not progressed from a promising start to her career. The City Kid has not won for over two years and looks booked for place at best in a race taken to go to Orangeleg. The three-year-old is less exposed than his rivals after just five starts and a reproduction of the form shown when successful at Brighton in July would suffice.
