Verdict
Bulwark gets the narrow vote in this handicap with Mandatum and Desert Island Disc rated as the main dangers. The selection won well at Newmarket last time when beating Diamond Circle and with this step-up in trip likely to play to his strengths he is taken to score. Mandatum was clear of the rest when third behind Wing Collar at York last time. He is upped in trip which again should suit and providing he gets home he is entitled to make the frame. Desert Island Disc is well handicapped on his best form and he won well here last time when beating Moonshine Beach. The latter is a course specialist and as this pair are proven stayers they should not be dismissed lightly. However, for the winner we will stick with Bulwark.
