The market's attention is naturally drawn to Star Cast, whose seven-length demolition job at Chester was visually impressive and earned another rise through the ranks. The question is whether a quick return on a different track under stronger opposition offers the same opportunity.
The race looks likely to be run at a healthy tempo, bringing proven stayers and strong finishers into play. That immediately shines a favourable light on Obito, whose recent Hamilton second suggested a return to peak form. Back over a course and distance where he has already won, he possesses the profile of a horse ready to strike.
Pol Roger is the interesting value runner. His Pontefract effort was his best run for some time and his dual C&D-winning record suggests Ayr brings out the best in him.
Sanafi Zabeel remains open to improvement and could prove hard to catch if allowed his own way, while Dwindling Funds cannot be dismissed given his excellent course record.
Final Conclusion
1st Choice: Obito
Value Play: Pol Roger
Main Danger: Star Cast
Race Rating: 6.5/10 betting opportunity
Suggested Approach: Obito win, Pol Roger each-way if suitable place terms available.
