Verdict

This should be an excellent opportunity for JUSTICE COURT, who pushed a short-priced favourite all the way over 7f on the turf course here. A mile isn't absolutely certain to suit judged on his breeding and Itica looks best placed to exploit any chinks in his armour. Rapide Vega showed a modicum of ability when trained in Ireland and is no forlorn hope, although Harry Eustace's newcomer Marchmont is more appealing.

Top Tip: Justice Court (2)
Watch out for: Itica (1)

JUSTICE COURT needs to prove his stamina for this far but he sets the standard on form following his runner up effort last time over 7f. That run is worth marking up as he was left with too much to do after meeting trouble so he is chosen to defeat the more experienced pair Rapide Vega and Itica. The former proved his stamina for further when trained in Ireland while the latter placed over 1m on the AW over the winter and had excuses last time.
