Verdict

It is hard to be positive about many in this. There is little doubt that Anteros is potentially the best handicapped horse in the race, but he is hardly one to have maximum faith in. Thomas Crapper has won a similar race this term but needs to rebound from a tame effort last time. Uhlan Bute is feared with his yard in good form, but DYLANSEOGHAN ran a big race here a month ago on ground softer than ideal. A drop in the weights for this and perfect underfoot conditions should ensure a big run at decent odds.
  1. Dylanseoghan
  2. Uhlan Bute
  3. Anteros
