Verdict

There are some strong stayers in this and they will all want a fast pace. Morney Wing beat DAWSON CITY and Onderun over 3m4f at Plumpton last time. Sartorial Elegance unseated his rider in that race but was in touch at the time and still held every chance. Polly Gundry’s charge gets the nod to come out best today, however, as he was second in this last year and only 2lb higher despite string of consistent efforts. Barton Gift won over 3m5f at Bangor last month and Cyclop is usually thereabouts. Saroque and Abracadabra Sivola are others worthy of a mention but the market should tell us what’s expected from the returning Alfie Spinner and Rathlin Rose.
