Verdict

GOOD CHAP (6) remained unbeaten over this course and distance last start with a strong 1.3L victory as the race favourite. The form out of the race has stacked up nicely and this shapes similarly to his latest effort. Up in weight, but he's gone to a new level his past couple and he can bring up the hat-trick. MALPENSA (10) led them up on the turf course last start after rolling across from out wide. Pacifiers go on today as he goes onto the AW for the first time, but he has trialled well on this surface. Will need a touch of luck from the gate, but he's right in this on his recent form. CONRAD THE GREAT (11) improved nicely last start to finish behind Good Chap when sitting close to the speed, beaten 1.3L. He meets that runner much better at the weights today and the better draw is a big tick. Can feature in the finish once again. WOLF COMING (3) gets Purton in the saddle today as he goes onto the AW for the first time. Has trialled swiftly on the AW previously. Don't discount.
