Verdict

A trappy affair and Still At Lunch is chanced at the expense of Brousse En Feux and Harcas. The recent course winner probably beat not a lot on his latest start but it did confirm him to be in good form and at least on the upward curve. Brousse En Feux has won on good to firm in the past so the going won't be responsible were he to be beaten. Nevertheless he was disappointing last time out. Harcas looked useful last term though he has struggled for consistency ever since. Pulled up last time out, it remains to be seen as whether the backers give him another chance. Grand Display is still a maiden and while that is offputting, Brendan Duke has had a couple of winners in the last few days. Castle Craigs hasn't shown too much thus far and was unsupported at Perth on his most recent visit. Finnegans Rainbow is a plater. Still At Lunch is selected.
