To all intents and purposes, this looks to be between Buster Thomas and AINTREE MY DREAM. Their form is a fair bit better than anything else that runs here, and though they're penalised accordingly they should have no trouble seeing the rest off. Preference is for the Skelton-trained gelding owing to his decent performance in a Grade 2 two starts ago, but the first-named has already won at this level and should be capable of improving. Newcomer Orchardstown Cross has acquitted himself well in points and is taken to complete the tricast.
