    Verdict

    This all revolves around whether GREY GOLD is ready to roll on his first start since February. He is rated at least 19lb higher than his rivals and it's difficult to see King Alfonso and Magical Man getting anywhere near on these terms. Flying Eagle's fitness is guaranteed but he's become hard to predict. Red Riverman might have stronger claims but he doesn't really handle heavy going.
