With a number of horses in this contest likely to want to race prominently it may be worthwhile siding with last seasons course winner WIND IN MY SAILS. The selection has won over further and is regularly ridden from off the pace. Pactolus has won in cheekpieces in the past and has them reapplied for the first time since finishing fourth at Chelmsford in December and he is taken to finish second ahead of the top weight Highland Colori who stepped up on his seasonal debut in finishing fourth in a Class 2 at Newmarket off a 1lb higher mark last time.
