A race full of interest with Champ setting the standard on the back of his runner-up slot in the Ballymore at the Festival losing little caste in defeat but he still needs to prove himself over this 3m trip, he is bred for it though. DALLAS DES PICTONS is already proven over this distance and this powerful traveller looks sure to be suited by this test having looked like a Graded performer when second in the Martin Pipe. Emitom despite his unbeaten record has still to prove that he can cut it at this level with the Albert Bartlett fifth Lisnagar Oscar worth another chance on a flatter track. Plenty of “dark types” in this with Walk Away and Ardlethen topping that particular list.
