In a race where most have to prove stamina our confidence is with CROMWELL COURT to build on last time out success with Great Approach looking a danger and SA Suffit could prove interesting if showing a aptitude for the going. The pick capped a decent start to the season with victory in attritional circumstances here last time out. That came over the shorter two mile trip so stamina could be an issue but that can be said about a few of these. Great Approach on the other hand will definitely stay and will also act on the heavy ground. If anything this trip could be on the sharp side and the form from his last time out poor showing is weak. SA Suffit has done nothing wrong in two career starts and returned after over 700 days off to stay on well and get his head in front last time. He's yet to appear on bottomless ground which is the doubt but with the from looking solid from that victory he is a contended if he acts in the mud. Silver By Nature has put in some solid efforts since going chasing while Lyical Assisin could be beaten by the ground so to win it we're siding with Cromwell Court.
