Aureate has shown enough to make him the one to beat here and he is preferred to Emerald Wilderness and Cut The Cake. The selection was a fair third behind Adagio at Newmarket and with today's cut in the ground sure to suit he sets the benchmark for the rest. Emerald Wilderness finished third behind Kid Mambo at Sandown last time and although that was a fair effort he does look a little one-paced and for that reason we will take him on. Cut The Cake is an interesting newcomer from a yard that merits plenty of respect in these type of events so he is worth a look in the market. Lets Get Cracking has got some fair form and is the other with claims but for the winner we will return to Aureate.
