A wide-open renewal of this contest but it might be worth siding with FITZHENRY in the first-time blinkers. He's a consistent sort who performed well over 3m here last time out and a 2lb rise for that effort is fair. Owner JP McManus has a strong hand in the race also saddling the likes of Any Second Now and Scoir Mear who have solid each-way claims but Cadmium may be the main danger back in a handicap after some respectable efforts in Graded company.
