Verdict

Winds Supreme, College City and Named At Dinner are three against the field in another tough race to call and the narrow vote is given to Winds Supreme. The selection was a staying-on third behind Seafire Lad last time out and with the step-up in trip looking ti be in his favour he represents a value bet in an open affair. College City should give him most to think about on the evidence of his latest fourth behind Aztec Prince, but he has had plenty of chances off similar marks and we are happy to take him on. Named At Dinner is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Barracat but all his best form is on a faster surface. Top Style is readily opposed under top weight while Inn From The Cold has dropped to a handy mark and should be noted in the market with his yard in form. However, for the winner we will stick with Winds Supreme who is taken to land the spoils.
