Quite a few to consider here in what looks to be an open contest although a few of these may just need their first run of the season. One who won’t lack for fitness is DESERT RULER who has already scored on the AW this season but is equally at home on turf and he could put his well being to good use here. Showroom and Petrastar are the unknown quantities in this field both making their handicap debuts with the former looking to have the potential to be a lot better than the mark of 90 he’s been awarded. Natural History is another with potential whilst the well-handicapped Michael’s Mount needs watching in the market on his return to the Flat along with Eddystone Rock.
