A very poor seller that can be narrowed down to Felix The Fox, Spectacular Hope, Glencoyle and Winding River with the vote going to the last named. Ridden by Tony McCoy and trained by Charlie Egerton Winding River is less exposed than any of his rivals. The fact that he has spent more time off the track through injury than on the track means he is yet to show his full potential. His previous form in better company reads far better than his rivals and for that reason is given the nod. Felix The Fox comes from a top yard and this is a drop in grade so he is worth noting in the market as is Spectacular Hope who has form good enough to win this but has not been producing it of late. Glencoyle on the other hand ran right up to his best last time out when third of thirteen at Stratford and again will go close. But for the winner we return to Winding River.
