Orchard House gets the vote in this staying race with Qaasi and Just Waz rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Silver Mont and although rising in the weights he still has scope for improvement over this trip and he is taken to win again. Qassi rates the main danger on his latest second behind Compton Dragon but he has had plenty of chances of late without taking one and is taken on with this in mind. Just Waz is another last time out winner. He beat True last time out. However, that rival has since been beaten and he is taken on with this in mind. Vice Admiral's Best form is over a longer trip. Of the remainder, Generous Jem is unexposed and with the booking of Seb Sanders catching the eye he should be watched in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Orchard House.
