Verdict
This is a two-horse race according to official ratings. Candelisa has only won one of his 18 starts but that came in this grade back in 2015. He’s been plying his trade in decent handicap company since and will appreciate this much easier task. But FORT BASTION has also been highly tried this season and his staying-on fourth at Ripon last month is the best recent form on offer. Brian Ellison’s gelding gets the nod with Lady Lydia possibly the pick of the remainder ahead of the three-year-old Seaview and Dandyleekie.
