Verdict
Emperor Ross won well last time out and he will be hard to beat here despite his penalty. Phar From A Chance ran well when fourth last time out in a very competitive affair, this looks easier and he should go well. Harfdecent could go well if the ground remains on the fast side. Occold should also run well despite top weight in a wide open affair.
