Verdict

No Guarantees gets the vote here with Firth Of Forth and Our Jasper rating the main dangers. The selection goes well fresh has conditions to suit and with his yard continuing in good form he is taken to score. Firth Of Forth rates the main danger on his best form but he did not pregress as expected last season and although he could improve for the switch to fences he may need the run after a 336 day break. Our Jasper was fourth behind Tidal Bay last time out but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Gemini Storm took a heavy fall last time out but if his confidence has not been effected he would have definite place claims. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to No Guarantees.
