Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine

Open field takes place. Politely Dun is off the back of a strong last start win. Should be able to give this a shake with Lane aboard and is in form and ready to go on with things. Red Aces has good upside and the map advantage on the favourite. So far Firm Agreement has been consistent this prep and is well placed against these while King Of Thunder has the services of J-Mac and should be around the mark in this field.

1. Vianarra (1)

Certainly has the talent but yet to see it this prep. Looming to D-day but finds a suitable race and should give this a shake from the good draw.

2. Red Aces (5)

Likeable in this field after chasing Keeneland last time out and that is good form for this. Well placed against this lot.

3. Firm Agreement (7)

Comes out of a very good form race chasing El Castello. This looks a drop in grade and Shinn aboard is a big tick. Goes close and has had very good early market support.

4. Politely Dun (9)

Current favourite off a big maiden win. Does look suspect form but hard to deny the upside and Damian Lane sticking is a decent push for its chances.

5. Peru (2)

Can’t have.

6. King Of Thunder (8)

7. Opening Address (6)

Can’t have.

8. Purler Patch (10)

Prefer others.

9. The Bantam (3)

This looks too tough.

10. Autumnheat (4)

Leaning to others.
