Has won three times here but a long time since his last win; solid effort when beaten just under 3l to finish fifth over 1m1f here (handicap) 14 days ago; he can be taken on given this looks a decent race.

EIGER SANCTION gets the vote. He is a distance winner and has slipped to a winning mark. Battleground lines up on the back of some good efforts while Kudzu is taken to mount a serious challenge, and this trip could be a bit far for Best Candidate.
