Race Verdict
C&D winner Delgany Gunner is in cracking form currently and another strong performance looks likely but he's now 20lb higher than when scoring here in early May and Irish raider NOBLE COMMANDER is preferred off what still appears a feasible mark. Effective between 2m4f and 3m, he handles soft ground and arrives on the back of a smooth Ffos Las victory last month. Fellow Irish raider, Sean Airgead and the ever-consistent It's Like That are also respected.
Selection: Noble Commander
Danger: Delgany Gunner
Alternative: Sean Airgead
