As with a number of races here on the Westwood, the likes of Neptune Star, Leonard Thomas, I'm Super Too and Spirit Of The Vale , don't want to be getting behind too early. Upfront the pace will possibly come from, Bit Of A Quirke , with Bollin Ted and Ching Ching Lor for company. The race could well be won on the nod, between Bit Of A Quirke and BOLLIN TED , who gets a stone from his opponent.
