Verdict

BUCKLAND BELLE rates easily the most solid in this field on the back of success at Leicester 2 weeks ago and she's fancied to prove tough to contain from a 6 lb higher mark over this longer trip. Port Darwin has had excuses of late and can be seen to better effect here, with veteran Annexation completing the dangers.
