Ten of these plus the reserve are course winners with Danz Gift, who won this a year ago, leading the way with seven track victories. It's All A Joke scored in 2018 and though neither have been in the best of form nothing can be ruled out. Blastofmagic is drawn on the outside but two of the last four winners have been drawn in double figures and the handicapper has given him a chance. POET'S PRIDE dropped down to this trip for the first time in over two years last month where he was only headed close home. He holds the lightly-raced Tassel Flower on that run and the latter has the widest draw of all. Annabelle Rock rarely runs over the minimum these days and wasn't at her best last time but her two previous efforts over 6f put her in the picture. Lapilli was in winning form last winter and, though unraced since June, Colin Keane has been booked.
