Verdict

Last time out winner CHASE THE WIND will need a career best performance to land this but given the question marks over most of his rivals it may pay to side with the ten-year-old. He won well at Huntington on his latest start with the main danger to victory being if the ground gets too testing. Horatio Hornblower is another recent winner and he ran with credit on his seasonal reappearance to win at Ffos Las: A little vulnerable at the weights, he should still run his race. If Cusheen Bridge is in the mood, then he would have claims but his chances of victory may depend on whether he can stay with the early pace.
