SPINNAKER won nicely after gelding and the three-year-old could pass this tougher test against his elders. UNITED FRONT is holding form well. He had DIAMOND BARON and NOBLE HERO not far behind him and having drawn a bit better he could maintain that advantage. DIAMOND BARON caught the eye with a good finish and could be a bigger threat at the weights. Dangerous frontrunner DEVIL A SAINT has been given gate No 1 and his talented apprentice knows him now. CORK BAY was beaten as favourite in his last four and has now drawn wide. But the distance could suit better.
