Verdict

SPEAK TO ME (1) is on the quick back up as he stretches to the mile again today. He maps for a lovely run for Pike and he'll find this a little easier than his most recent effort. Jumped favourite in a similar event two back and he looks the one to beat off his most recent figure. AMJAAD (8) was backed into favouritism last start over 1500m last start and kept on well to the line, only caught late in the race. She can find the front once again today from a good barrier and she's expected to take plenty of catching from out in front. PROPHET AND POWER (2) has just missed in his past couple, beaten 0.2L in both runs this campaign. Now hitting peak fitness and out to this trip looks ideal. He won at the same stage of his preparation last campaign in impressive style and with further improvement expected, he'll go very close. STORMAGEDDON (6) is racing well and has to be included. ROCK IN WONDER (5) drops back in trip today but will find this much easier. Can bounce back.

Hard to have in this line-up.
