Verdict

Not the ideal 'getting-out' stakes for punters to savour with hardly any of the field having looked like winning on recent starts. Scales finds himself with top weight despite only running third in a seller last time, although he does have a course and distance victory to his name. New Venture seemed quite well thought of when a French import for the Fry team but has pulled up on both starts this term and connections now reach for cheekpieces. Periquest would have a chance if recapturing his consistent form of 2015 but the jury is currently out with him too so a chance is taken with BANDON ROC. He's lightly raced with just five runs to his name and has shown occasional glimmers of ability. Cor Wot An Apple is also an each-way possible.
