Verdict
Ross Birkett and FINAL WATCH teamed-up to land last year’s inaugural running and the winner can race off a similar mark today despite having won at Newmarket in July. Kimnkate and Canoodled have also won at HQ this season while Amber Island scored at Leicester in June. Paws For Thought landed a hat-trick during the summer including a Chester success under today’s amateur while Crystal Casque and Jo Supple teamed up to score over a longer trip here last month with Alazwar behind and the latter has subsequently placed at Newmarket.
