Verdict

Another nightmare for punters, however we will side with Osiris Way ahead of Vegas Boys and Brunelleschi. Osiris Way is two from two in handicap company this summer and finished some way clear of Vegas Boys at Goodwood last time out. He has jumped up the weights (9lbs to be precise) and whilst that makes life trickier, he looks progressive and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him win again. Who's Winning is consistent and goes on the shortlist along with River Kirov if back on song. Vegas Boys has a 5lb pull in the weights with the selection but that may not be enough. Roman Quest could go well at a price however we are happy to return to Osiris Way as the selection.
