This is a very tricky contest for punters to call but Meshaheer, Membership and Millennium Force all look to have leading chances and the nomination is given to the first mentioned. The selection is in cracking form and ran well when a good second behind Royal Storm at Newbury last time. But the form that really catches the eye is his second in a Group 3 contest in France when he finished behind Saratan. The ground was very soft that day so he will have no problems with the conditions here and he should take plenty of beating. Membership is a really smart colt and he could prove to be the answer here if the ground was faster, but he has never won on a softer surface and for that reason he is hard to put forward. Millennium Force is from a yard in form and he is another that should handle these conditions, so he could go well but he looks to have a bit to find to beat our selection. Jonny Ebeneezer has had a good season but this is more difficult than some of his recent assignments and for the winner we return to Meshaheer.
