Verdict

WHOLESTONE won this race last year and while he disappointed last time out, he rates as the type to bounce straight back and land what would appear to be a below par renewal of the race. Old Guard has form around here and is capable at this level while Clyne won't be far away with a reproduction of his Newbury effort, though he would surely have preferred some rain.
