The in-form horse is undoubtedly Pocket Warrior who arrives here on the back of two turf extended 5f wins finding plenty for pressure each time and appreciating the strong pace he had to aim at. Reverting to the AW off a higher mark and with over a sharp 5f may just find him out in his hat-trick bid. AWSAAF has been given some rope by the handicapper and if he can build on his fourth in a better race that this last time over this 5f trip his chance is clear; Michael Wigham has an excellent record with his horses in a first-time tongue-tie. Ah Saoirse and Always Amazing are two others who make some appeal with Prominna looking the best of the rest.
