Plenty of these appeal as horses to keep close to hand for future reference; most notably the well-bred ELMALIYA, who is has a sterling pedigree and, given that she represents the top jockey and trainer combination for this particular course, a bold show is expected. Venezuela is sure to be a popular choice and has a valuable edge in terms of experience. He does need to improve for the step up to a mile and, as he proved last time out, he isn't one to trust implicitly at cramped odds. Moral Fibre and Conversely are others to bear in mind to fill the frame.
