Plenty of possibles in a difficult finale but Full Spate has solid credentials and is just preferred. Milton Bradley's charge proved better than ever last term winning on four occasions including over course and distance. The son of Unfuwain confirmed his well being when narrowly denied in a better grade at Ripon last week and should be involved once again from a favourable high draw. Jawhari goes well for today's rider and was far from disgraced at Ascot last time but, along with Cd Flyer, he has a poor draw to overcome. Greenwood has been knocking on the door in better company of late and should be on the premises once again but James Stark is better at the minimum trip and Tre Colline has to defy a long absence.
