A fairly grim looking finale, and with all due respect to connections, there doesn't appear to be a single runner on an upward curve. The exposed TURTLE CASK made light work of a few of these rivals (Court Baloo, The Conn and Bescot Springs) when scooting clear from the last to win by 5L over C&D last month, and despite a subsequent 7lb rise in the weights looks by far the safest option in a race which will take precious little winning. Scratching a little deeper below the surface, it could well prove fruitful to include Kings Eclipse for the forecast option, as he's expected to be stronger for his recent return to action and his handicap mark is gradually easing.
