Verdict

Only seven runners but no shortage of pace on, and this could fall to something ridden with a bit more restraint. On that score, SCRIPTURIENT fits the bill, having been an easy C&D winner here in July when he tracked the pace and came through late to win easily. Similar tactics are likely to be employed here and he can beat Fort Gabriel, who may be able to see the other front runners off with some good leaps early in the contest, with the frustrating Wade Harper for third.
  1. Scripturient
