A fascinating renewal of this devilishly-competitive handicap in which the unexposed North Hill Harvey makes plenty of appeal representing last year's winning connections. That said, with dangers abound, it may pay to search for value elsewhere and last year's impressive impressive Fred Winter winner DIEGO DU CHARMIL fits the bill having confirmed himself still on the upgrade with an impressive victory at Musselburgh last time out. Another 2016 Festival winner, Ivanovich Gorbatov, is also interesting along with Mick Jazz, Winter Escape and Wait For Me.
- Diego Du Charmil
