Verdict
Douceur Des Songes has been in good form of late without winning and she should pick up the winning thread here she was third behind the highly regarded Welsh Boarder last time and there is nothing of that caliber in this contest. Rutledge Red looks the main danger he was a big backward type last summer and he is sure to have improved phisically but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Alvaro won well at Cartmel last time out but this looks tougher. The remainder will have to improve on all known form to score.
