Judge 'N Jury, Welsh Emperor and Zidane are the three to lok at here with JUDGE 'N JURY set to continue his winning ways. After contesting Group races, Welsh Emperor took a drop in grade last time to finish a close second in a conditions affair. His last win came on testing ground, so although he has not shown form over this trip for some time, his stamina will bring him into play. Zidane has not won since landing a Listed contest at Newmarket on his re-appearance but his best efforts have come when there has been give underfoot. Zidane shaped encouragingly last time to be second in Group company and looks sure to run a big race. Judge'n'Jury has completed a recent hat-trick and consequently taken a hike up the ratings, hence this elevation to Listed class. His ability to handle the extra furlong has to be taken on trust, but he won here last time, and Judge 'N Jury can rule here. (John Temple)
