Wisecraic is worth monitoring as his latest fall in the weights enables him to drop in grade, Zakiy has bits and pieces of form which make him of interest, Breathless Kiss (visored for the first time) represents a yard that has won two recent renewals of this race, Night Trade is consistent and Lutine Bell clearly has the ability to win again from his current mark if the mood takes him but Tukitinyasok may find dominating this field beyond him. Transmit, Kilt Rock and Dancing Red Devil make some appeal too but the really interesting one is ELECTIONEER who has caught the eye on more than one occasion since joining Mick Easterby from Mark Johnston and he gets the vote with this longer trip expected to suit although, ultimately, the market may well prove to be the best guide to his chances.
