Verdict

DRACO (10) earns top billing after winning at this track and distance two starts ago, then closing off nicely as a well-supported favourite when fifth behind Vigor Elleegant. He has a useful record over this course and trip and looks well placed third-up to turn that recent defeat around. VIGOR ELLEEGANT (5) scored by two lengths here last start and beating Draco in the process. Drawn wider now and rises in weight, but he's trialled well since and the margin there wa substantial. No reason why he can't win again. SUPREME WINNER (13) took a sharp step forward when second at this venue, beaten just over a length. Needs a touch of luck but he's down in the weights and racing well. ONLY U (12) returned with a solid fourth on the All Weather, has Purton aboard and an inside draw. There's plenty to like about him.
