SIBLING RIVELRY 11/4
ROMANTIC SPIRIT is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, though an uncontested lead counts for less here than it does elsewhere.
SIBLING RIVELRY at 11/4, David Simcock with Jack Dace taking off 5lb, looks the most likely of these. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 0.5L off 70 on 31 July and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are TWILIGHT MOON at 5/2 (a course winner) and BIG BEAR HUG at 10/1 (well handicapped).
