Tudor King, River Quoile and High Drama look the three against the field with the vote going to the last named. With the yard in form and the services of Tony McCoy on board High Drama has also been running well and proved his well being with a real battling show at Perth last time out when rallying under pressure when touched of by Champagne Harry. With a repeat performance he can go very close. Tudor King will pose as the biggest danger as he was unlucky not to have made all to win over course and distance last time out when beaten in the last few strides by Excellent Vibes. River Quoile looked cooked when falling behind Maidstone Monument who has since been well beaten at Newton Abbot last time out and is one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to High Drama.
