Verdict

Hanover Square who was slightly disappointing last season but has consequently dropped down the weights is taken to score. He made an encouraging debut this season when just touched off by the reliable yardstick Atavistic, if he can reproduce that effort he will not be far away. Zaggy Lane rates the main danger he to made an encouraging debut this season when second behind Ardent Scout and that one ran well in a better race last week. Jack The Bear is a bold jumping front runner who is well weighted on his best form but he has a long absence to overcome however his stable is in top form. Act In Time could also go well but he would not want the ground to soft. Master Of Illusion and Our Jolly Swagman will both probably come on for the run.
