This has the potential to be a race to watch several times and produce plenty of winners. Harry Fry who took last year’s contest supplies another leading contender in Just A Sting who will be hard to beat although the newcomer GUNFLEET makes plenty of appeal. His hurdles form suggests he could be ahead of his mark here and he looks a good chaser in the making. Phillip Hobbs runs three the best of which Vodka All The Way although his mark looks a stiff one. Indian Hercules should be seen in a positive light with Late Romantic one to watch in the market along with Run To Milan.
