Verdict
El Cordobes, had things pretty much his own way at Fakenham, but he has much more too do in this better race off a higher mark. He has nothing to fear from Kildrummy Castle on that running, although the latter will appreciate this better ground. Winn's Pride, second to easy winner Rosencrantz at Uttoxeter, will find this more his level and would not be out of this at his best, but this looks best left to Granby Bell who looks more reliable than most.
