Not a particularly strong race and plenty of these have never won a race or are long losing runs and that means that plenty can be fancied. One who is would be SHINING ROMEO who has slipped back into this grade and comes here off the back of some decent hurdles runs and the bonus is the booking of Adam Kirby. Infiniti has to be respected off the back of her win although there may still be a slight stamina doubt. Both Rowlestonerendezvu and Ocean Gale have some form which would give them some hope here although their form does need treating with some caution.
