Many to consider in this competitive event but Easter Ogil, who has shown progressive form on the all-weather, might be worth chancing back on turf. If his Windsor run over further last time is anything to go by, then Jane Southcombe's admirable gelding could well notch a fairly rare now win on grass. Others that have to be considered are Cryfield, a Hamilton winner off this mark, King David, whose best form is on the all-weather but he did run well over course and distance in a claimer last time out. Add to the list Rose Tinted, who cots 140,000gns, is well-related but has not shown too much in a brief career to date, Tankersley, who hasn't won for four years but did show some promise last time, Lily Of The Guild, a Salisbury winner off 54 last year (now on 56) and Guilsborough, who certainly has chances if back to his turf best. As you may have gathered, it's a tricky race.
