Verdict

Given the high number of apparent no-hopers in the field, this seems to be FOXEARTH's to lose. Henry de Bromhead's charge must overcome a fair break in order to be successful today, but he was incredibly unlucky not to win a similar contest on his most recent racecourse appearance. Crossed My Mind's fourth place to Melon in January is the stand-out piece of form in the field and he has to be considered, as well as Monotype, who would surely hit the frame on the basis of his form on the Flat.
