The best is saved to last but many of these are course specialists so it’s a matter of working out whose turn it is today. Pixeleen is the class act but has the weight to match while Our Lord has gone up 9lb since last successful. Both of CORONATION COTTAGE’s victories have come here and she can confirm recent running with Dandilion and score again. Jane Elliott’s claim brings Jaganory into the equation, even though he’s one of seven who will be carrying more than their allotted weight. The selection’s stablemate Showmethewayavrilo is probably best of the rest.
