This has attracted a bumper entry but Anthony Honeyball holds a strong hand with a couple of in-form stayers. David Noonan galvanized Horace Hazel to cut down Minellacelebration close home at Taunton and takes off 3lb here but stablemate CITY SUPREME is preferred. Nick Schofield's mount chased home Cheltenham winner The Eaglehaslanded at Warwick nine days ago having won earlier at Newbury and drops down a grade for this. Carlisle winner Bruce Almighty should make a bold bid to defy top weight and Lord Of The Island pulled clear at Southwell earlier this month. Wintered Well has already won twice this year while Palm Grey is better than he showed here last month. Moscow Presents, Chantara Rose and Red Infantry are others to consider and Set In My Ways will have Richard Johnson doing the steering. Battle Of Shiloh won his only start under Rules at Ludlow in January but the form hasn't worked out.
