No firm view taken in this trappy little contest in which some lightly raced AW horses (Al Destoor and Navajo War Dance) tackle hardy synthetics regulars such as SPES NOSTRA and Warfare. Al Destoor improved switched to this stable last year on turf, and is of definite interest on his return to the track. However, at the likely odds, a chance is taken that Ian Jardine can work his magic on Spes Nostra, who is undoubtedly well handicapped on form from twelve months plus ago.
