Verdict
This is an above-average seller and HUCKING HERO is only a tentative selection on account of the fact than he's less exposed than his rivals and comes here in winning form, albeit in lesser company. Oumeyade is better known as a chaser and has a lengthy absence to overcome, while last year's winner Dunaskin has 8lb extra to carry this time around and has been a little below par on the all-weather this spring. Skye But N Ben is back in the right grade but hasn't raced since November so Puy D'Arnac may be a bigger danger as this his first appearance in a seller and he was a decent handicapper on the Flat when in the mood.
