Howlongisafoot and BALKINSTOWN were first and second over course and distance earlier this month and may well fight out the finish again. The latter has a 5lb pull in the weights for six lengths and can come out on top this time with Craig Dowson able to claim 2lb more than Tabitha Worsley. Coisa Blanco showed promise here in May but that was on soft ground and he has disappointed twice since. Jonjo O’Neill also runs Phoenix Rock, who may have stronger claims, while Little Windmill is another who could grab a place.
