A dreadful race with the two previous winners Princely Vale and Don't Tell Trigger looking the most likely candidates with preference going to the latter. Stan Moore's two-year old showed plenty of speed to get the better of his rivals at Chepstow earlier this month and a similar effort should see him pass the post in first place. The form of Princely Vale's Thirsk win does not add up to much while the rest of the contenders look weak. A market move for Kinfayre Boy would be in interesting but it should pay to stick with the likely favourite Don't Tell Trigger.
