Full Spate has been running well of late in this grade and is taken to get the better of Prince Tum Tum and Cornus. The selection was only narrowly beaten last time behind Kensington and as he goes especially well on this track he looks to have a leading chance. Prince Tum Tum would certainly be a huge danger on the pick of his form but he has not been at his best recently. This looks easier than some of his recent assignments but he is probably better over a slightly longer trip and for that reason we will take him on. Cornus looks to have a strong each-way chance as he had been running well before a slightly disappointing effort at Doncaster last time. Ali Bruce is a game and consistent sort who will try and make-all and he is never one to dismiss lightly. However, for the winner we will stick with Full Spate who will need the gaps to appear at the right time but he looks the one to be with.
