This is a tricky 2000m race to pick through, the set weights conditions bringing some out-of-form gallopers into contention. Not much early speed with SAMADOUBT taking it up, possibly RODRICO and PATRICK ERIN moving up near the STEADY tempo too. With the genuinely wet track you have to give the mudlark TAVAGO a chance, a Derby winner (in the wet) that is on the come-back trail from some serious leg issues. PATRICK ERIN (reliable) and RED CARDINAL (enjoys wet) the other key winning chances. SAMADOUBT is hoping for an easy lead, as long as there is some pressure he is a big risk the last 200m. GOATHLAND a place chance up in grade, the conditions a risk for him [updated 9:39am]
