Goring (11/4), The Daley Express (7/2), Major Valentine (4/1), Clear Spring (9/2), Letmestopyouthere (5/1), Glory of Paris (6/1), Signore Piccolo (6/1)

Clear Spring and Letmestopyouthere are on attractive marks in this but both are on long losing runs. Signore Piccolo has conditions to suit and this looks easier than his recent races, but his yard are going through a quiet spell. Major Valentine usually gives his running but his latest effort was a few pounds below his best and raises questions as to whether he is feeling the effects of a busy campaign. There is no doubting he nicely treated here in relation to THE DALEY EXPRESS as he meets him on 12lb better terms for beating him two months ago. That rival was having just his second run of the campaign that day and different tactics have produced significant improvement since and we believe THE DALEY EXPRESS is capable of going in again.
