Verdict

A decent hurdler, Indefatigable has only her second outing on the Flat and first start since April. Doctor Parnassus disappointed in a handicap at Hamilton recently while Hoopmalassie was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Ripon with Paramaribo and Stay Home not far behind. Tiger Beetle steps up in trip on his return to maiden company but the less-exposed GREAT COMMISSION will likely improve for this longer trip having gone close in soft going at Beverley so he gets the vote.
