Henry de Bromhead can do little wrong at present and has a real contender here in POKER PARTY who would have gone close on his penultimate start but for losing his rider two out when challenging. That effort puts him on a good mark and a run over 2m last time proved he is more effective at today's trip. Presenting Julio, Sweet Destination and Peacocks Secret have legitimate claims too, whilst Nobody Home is better handicapped in this sphere but needs to jump better than was the case last time. Just Get Cracking is a similar sort who is more at home over fences and he would represent the biggest threat to the selection.
