This looks a match between Asset and Isis, and the vote is given to Asset. The selection was a fair fourth behind EmiratesGold last time out. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and with this longer trip sure to suit he is taken to score. Isis rates the main danger on his third behind Hanoona but his yard continues to be quiet and for thatzt reason he is opposed. Zennerman won well last time but has a penalty for that win and he may be vulnerable to a less exposed type. Of the remainder Conciliate is from a shrewd yard and has been in good form of late but this looks as good as he is and for the winner we return to Asset.
