In depth
Verdict
A tricky bumper to wrap up proceedings where the market may give the best pointers. Looking at the form of those with previous experience it may be best to side with one of the newcomers. Vandas Choice has shown some ability in two starts but is likely to find one or two too good again here while Albertino Lad's only run came in a competitive contest last season and is likely to be the best of those with a run. His trainer, Len Lungo has good record in these affairs and he also runs Noblefir who has been the subject of good reports from home. It would be no surprise to see him show plenty of ability on this debut under Rules and with market support could be the one to be on. Mary Reveley also has to be feared in these events and Our Dream is a filly who catches the eye on breeding and is another for the short-list. Monet's Garden is another who is bred to do well in bumpers and again represents a stable who must be feared in these races.
