Verdict

An open heat, where VIA VIA is of interest now dropped to this grade and gets the vote ahead of Greatest Journey, who has a chance of claiming a first turf success, and Lamloom, who again merits consideration. King's Pavilion has dropped to a handy mark and, along with Lord Of The Rock, would be of more interest if the ground turns softer.
