Verdict

The six-year-olds Far Bridge and Program Trading would have a great chance on the form of their younger days, but doubts hang over them now - the former is thought likely to be short of peak fitness, while the latter may need more cut in the ground than is likely. One of the three-pronged British challenge could well succeed, especially if the classy EL CORDOBES is at his best after the layoff. Of the other two, Pride Of Arras is preferred to Fort George. Best of the home team's younger contingent could be Minaret Station (second choice) who is capable of a strong finish and is improving.
