Verdict

A tricky eight runner handicap that may fall to Ace Of Hearts, with Saraaf and Jordan's Elect the main dangers. Chris Wall's five-year-old gained a deserved success at Newmarket last time, his first victory for 22 months, when he came through smoothly to beat St Pancras, in this sort of mood he will take a lot of stopping. Sarraaf appears to be coming to hand following an excellent third behind Efidium at York last month and could go close at a decent price. Jordan's Elect holds his form well and should again be in the firing line. In a very open contest Jay Gee's Choice and Distant Country are two others worthy of a mention, but now that Ace Of Hearts has remembered how to win we think he can follow up today.
