Competitive fayre for its grade and Tim Easterby looks keen to win it with three representatives, including dual winner of the race Confessional, who again has claims, along with both Midnight Malibu and Copper Knight, who looks to have a similar chance. Holmeswood is in tremendous form and will be on many short-lists, while Soie D'leau is on an attractive mark and should go close to repeating last year's success with conditions to suit. However, this race is no stranger to bigger-priced winners and one who will probably fit that category is MAYLEAF SHINE, who acts with cut in the ground and looks weighted to run a big race.
