A modest finale but Sarpech could figure if fully wound-up. Anton Dolin is usually thereabouts in this grade but it's more than two years since he last got his head in front. Rose Red won here in June, however, and is only a pound higher than when second last time at Stratford. GANYMEDE was third on his handicap debut at Worcester and should be competitive in a race like this if building on that. Knight's Reward also has a squeak, though lacks a recent run.
