The speedy trio Winter Stories, Money Heist and Another Level can set the pace from the outset. BRAVE VIKING (8) ran a fair race for fifth over 1400m here on the Standside course last start. It must be noted that the winner that day has come out and won again since. He has dropped in the ratings and with a bit of luck from his wide draw, he can win a race of this nature. CHAMPION WARRIOR (11) has finished second in his last two starts. It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked. He takes a rise in class but only carries 54 kilos and should be up to the task at hand. MARDI GRAS (10) ran a good race when second over a mile last time out. 4 kilo claiming apprentice Nirvan Nastili retains the ride and the combination merits healthy respect. TIZONA (9) has been thereabouts lately. 2 of his 3 career victories have come over this distance. He tries the blinkers for the first time which should keep his mind on the job and he he is good enough to get a slice of the finish here. Each way value.
