The Best Way heads our figures and has been rediscovering his best — placed in his last two completions and with a win from his last four starts; he handles today's going and there is good reason to think further improvement is forthcoming over this trip. Loro White makes a compelling case as the main danger, having taken a race at this course off a 5lb lower mark and demonstrating real staying ability; if given a more patient ride at this extended distance she could go close. Prince Nino, who showed his liking for this course when landing a handicap here last time, and Les's Legacy also hold claims. The Best Way is our selection.
Loro White has shaped as though this step up to three miles is exactly what he wants, although there are slight concerns over his temperament at present. For that reason, the each-way vote goes to Cmon So, who could relish this increase in distance after looking as though he\'s been running over trips that have been too short. He has a solid each-way chance in the lucky last.
