A field large in numbers but low in quality and on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning, Terek Johnny Oscar and Mylo look the principals to concentrate on and we will take a chance on Mylo. The five-year-old was a good second behind Jollyolly last time out under similar conditions and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Terek rates the main danger Richard Phillips charge ran as if in need of the run when fourth on his debut this season behind Untidy Daughter. He is sure to strip fitter here and he will not be far away if he settles in the early part of the race. Johnny Oscar is also worthy of consideration the gelding is one of the least exposed in the field and any slight improvement on his latest second behind Welsh Dream would see him go close. Of the remainder Dazzling Rio has looked a doubtful stayer so we are happy to stick with Mylo
