The presence of Kauto Grand Mogul is intriguing, given he was last spotted running well in the Martin Pipe two seasons ago. His absence since is worrying, but he can is worth watching. This represents something of a nightmare for punters given the big field and the fact that few can be eliminated with any degree of certainty. Runyon Rattler produced his best work to win last time and can go well while a 7lb claim could get the fragile Oscars Den in the mix. Ben Dundee may have better days ahead for this new yard but JUST GET CRACKING scored with plenty in hand at Tramore last time when the money was down and, despite the assessor taking a dim view, could have more to say. Likewise, 10lb is not certain to halt last time out Gowran Park winner Dysios and Line Out (third behind him) is also worth a mention.
