This will be fast and furious and looks wide open. New Fforest came good at Warwick last month and should be thereabouts again under Oisin Murphy. Hoofalong and Lexington Place have already enjoyed successful summers and can't be ignored while Normal Equilibrium could pounce late if they go off too quickly. Huntsmans Close has been knocking on the door lately and could reverse recent Thirsk running with Angus Og but this is a little easier than COSMIC CHATTER's recent tests and he has the beating of Jillnextdoor, Storm Moon and Equitania on recent form. Robert Tart is one of this year's leading apprentices and can steer the top weight to a first victory of the year.
