Verdict

Another tough handicap for finding a reliable selection and none of these hold a name that leaps out of the page as a reliable form book selection. However, there could be some mileage in a small stakes interest in the lightly raced Siraj, who gets the nod over the Milton Bradley-trained pair of Beyond Calculation and Full Spate - although Yomalo and Super Canyon are other who could figure at the finish if they arrive here ready for the task in hand. B A Highflyer is another who has solid place claims on the pick of this season's form, but, like so many of the field, he is hard to win with and is not one to trust implicitly. Therefore, Siraj, who is an imposing individual, possess a useful turn of foot when he is on song. And with the profile of a horse who goes well after being freshened up by a break, he could provide the key to the tricky puzzle that punters are left to solve here.
