SALOOMY has the best recent form and can open his account for John Butler. He just failed to catch Chester Aristocrat at Haydock last Saturday and had finished ahead of Lunar Deity, Clear Praise and Picture Dealer at Ascot before that. Lunar Deity could prove a threat re-opposing on better terms and more is expected from Jack My Boy with Richard Hughes' booking taking the eye. Kellys Eye showed a bit more on the Polytrack last time and Oil Strike is looking to take advantage of his slide down the weights on his return to action.
