A small field that lacks a pacemaker. RIVENDELL (5) trialled sharply before resuming but has only been okay with a pair of fourths. Blinkers go on third up and JMac takes over. Bold showing anticipated. KOMODO DRAGON (7) is a promising gelding for the O’Shea & Charlton yard. Chased gamely into second behind Castlejohn when resuming. There’s a chance he’s already looking for further, but he’s got enough ability to have himself in the finish. SIRAGUSA (10) returns and has been fitted with two solid trials. Drawn to advantage and can make his presence felt. TOUGH GUY (3) has put two on the bounce and deserves obvious respect but this is tougher. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rivendell to win.
