        Verdict

        The three previous winners Bahrain Gold, Christian Bendix and Ariesanne are all in with a chance, but we will give the vote to Orchestration. The selection comes from a stable in form and following a couple of modest efforts he looked on the way back last time when finishing an excellent third to Shadow Jumper over course and distance. He landed three in a row before christmas and can regain the winning thread this afternoon. Bahrain Gold beat Justcallmehandsome here last time and although that is only modest form he gets in here on a decent mark. Christian Bendix gained a deserved success last time and there could be more to come, he looks to have strong each-way claims. Aiesanne had shown little before landing a banded event last time and looks on a tempting weight this afternoon. All in all a very tricky contest and Orchestration is just a tentative choice.
