Welsh Border would win this easily on form but he is not one to take a short price about having refused to race last time out however if he ordains to jump off he will be hard to beat. Dardanus could be well in he is one of the least exposed in the race and having won well on his debut he was let down by his jumping on his next start when a well backed favourite and if his jumping holds up he will be a danger to all. Golfagent was a good second behind Central Committee at Bangor last time out and if he reproduces that effort he will not be far away. Celtic Star was a good third behind Lunar Crystal in a good race last time out and will find this easier. Mountrath Rock is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to plenty of improvement and a market move could be significant.
