Verdict
Mr Fickle impressed last time but that was over timber and he's yet to fully convince on the level. Edward Elgar should pick up some more prize money as he's laudably consistent whilst Bold Cross is a likable veteran who retains form admirably. Supa Seeker's latest form came from the Channel Islands and he'll need to improve on overall achievements to land this whereas PETRIFY has gone well in similar affairs the last twice and should do so again. He cannot be the subject of high confidence as he remains a maiden after 20 starts but could well change all that if running to the same level again on this occasion.
