A wide-open contest with Dalaki having every chance on the ease of his recent win over 1m3f here. Dual course and distance winner Archie's Advice is not out of this and Golden Jubilee can figure off his current mark back on the Flat. Hector's Chance went close at Lingfield last time with Squire back in fourth but the vote goes to THE THIRD MAN (NAP). He will have come on for last month's pipe-opener at Lingfield and the half-brother to the smart winners Trade Commissioner and Gallipot should improve further stepping up in distance for this.
