Race Verdict

Argaum warrants respect on the back of his workmanlike victory in a similar prize over C&D last month, but NETHER STREAM edges the vote. He was slightly more convincing when scoring in this company at Stratford 47 days ago and that form has been boosted with the runner-up winning since. Mahfal appeared to benefit from the application of both cheekpieces and a tongue-tie when third at Bangor latest and could run well with the same tack used again.

Selection: Nether Stream        Danger: Argaum        Alternative: Mahfal
