Race Verdict
Northern Territory is up 6lb for his emphatic victory at Yarmouth and as that came on heavy going, he should relish the forecast testing conditions. Buster Brown didn't exactly cover himself in glory on his sole start in handicap company last year but a 3lb drop may have given him a chance, though preference is for CYRUS SOD. Ed Dunlop's gelding stayed on well for second at Epsom over a furlong shorter last time and the booking of Ryan Moore for this is another plus.
Selection: Cyrus Sod
Danger: Northern Territory
Alternative: Buster Brown
