|---|---|---|---|---|

Big field with a lot of pace engaged so expecting a strong tempo. GOOD TRAVELLER (7) has finished fourth in his last three starts. He stayed on well at the finish last time.Returns to B Stakes Company and on best form shown, he should be the one to beat. GOLDEN DESTINY (9) found one too good over 1400m last time. He is at his best over this distance and he is one of the leading contenders. RIVERSTONE (12) returns from a spell. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from five starts over this distance. If not in need of the run, he has the ability to fight out the finish. UN BEL DI (10) tried hard when third over 1100m at Kenilworth last time. He is an honest type and cannot be ignored.
