Verdict

With just 5 runs apiece over fences, AMATEUR and Special Acceptance may both have more to offer in this sphere. The latter is not passed over lightly following fine efforts in defeat the last twice, but Amateur is likely to relish this stamina test and he is preferred on the back of his Newbury success, for which an 8 lb rise looks manageable. Bermeo and Samuel Jackson both make each-way appeal.

  1. AMATEUR (IRE)
  2. SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE
