Verdict

A new race for the track and the fourth longest Flat race in Britain only contests at Royal Ascot, Pontefract and Goodwood outstripping it in the distance stakes. The one that comes into this in the best form is three-time course winner Fitzwilly although this will be a new test for him he should find this stamina test to his liking. ATOMIC JACK is another that has won over 2m here although conditions would have been slower when he gained his victory if he can gain the lead he may well be hard to pass. No doubting that Wind Place And Sho is well handicapped but it will be a question of what mood he’s in while Graceful Lady and Early Summer can both be given a chance.
