Always one of the season's highlights for staying handicap chasers and plenty of them have apparently prepared for some time with this in mind. The ground is forecast to be more testing than usual for the first day, which could also have a bearing on the outcome and VINTAGE CLOUDS will relish that. A faller in this last year, he is an improved horse this season and could represent a bit of value. The unexposed Coo Star Sivola looks an obvious danger, while top weight Gold Present is not taken on lightly. Others with each-way claims include Shantou Flyer, Night Of Noir and Yala Enki.
- Vintage Clouds
