    Verdict

    In contrast to the opener on the card, this looks a lot more wide open, with Russian Court taken to get the better of Bude, Musally and Nameless Wonder. Simon Sherwood's seven-year-old was in great form last season, and was a winner here in January, albeit in selling company. He did though put in an eye catching run over two miles here 10 days ago when closing fast at the line to get within half a length of Never Can Tell. The longer trip and drop in grade should help Russian Court to make a bold bid. Bude has been in good heart of late but at the age of 12 it is hard to see him improving, while Nameless Wonder has been off for six months and has been slow to come to hand in the past. So, Musally looks the biggest threat after posting a close second over the course and distance last time. Off his current mark he can give Russian Court most to do.
