Verdict
A MAJOR PAYNE looks the obvious place to start and he should go very close on the evidence of his last couple of seconds at Yarmouth and Newmarket. He's improved for going up to this distance and Oisin Murphy can get this gelding over the line for a breakthrough success. No Knee Never and Kasgani are the ones expected to put up the most resistance.
Expert View Verdict
The ex-German Abando runs off a rapidly reduced mark and he'll surely come good at some stage while the gelding op could be a game changer. He's one to take seriously, but A MAJOR PAYNE is a sounder selection having placed on each of his last four starts and running from an unchanged mark. He should again be bang there. Orangesandlemons is best of the rest as a former C&D scorer, although she wasn't at her best last time.
