An interesting and complex sprint to unravel with last year’s winner Excessable bidding to gain his first win since then off the same mark although the draw looks a hinderance. Lahore is another who will have to overcome a low draw along with Saaheq with those drawn higher preferred. Jabbarockie has to hold a leading chance based on his 5f form this year (233122) although the handicapper keeps nudging him up for his non-winning efforts and because of that WAR WHISPER is just given the edge here. Paul Midgley’s charge ran into a real improver last time but lost no caste in defeat to one who has won again since and he meets no such types here despite the depth in the field.
