This is very much a case of quantity rather than quality but it remains a hard race to call. Earlshill and Cloth Cap represent top yards but have only shown modest form. The latter probably has the greater scope and has the benefit of a recent run. Eurato and Indian Hercules are interesting debutants, whilst Ted Thistle would be one to keep a close eye on if supported. THE SWEENEY represents a yard whose horses are running exceptionally well at present. Hailing from a good family and having shown promise on his racecourse debut, there will be few easier opportunities for him to open his account.
