Admiral Peary is selected ahead of He's The Guvnor. Soft ground holds no problems for Admiral Peary and on the official form figures, he should have the beating of the latter. He's The Guvnor represents a yard that have had winners of late. He too has few problems on the surface and stays well. Mythical King has shown little this term over hurdles and has switched to chase fences. Sungates is doubly declared at Warwick and Uttoxeter and should not be inconvenienced by the trip or going. The Mighty Dunne is a recent convert from the point-to-point fields. Admiral Peary is selected.
