Despite being won by a 33-1 shot last year this race produced five next time out winners so it may once again be a contest worth noting. The newcomers of which there are the same number this year (five) didn’t perform that well last year and Black Comedy apart they are a difficult bunch this year to make a case for. IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH almost got the job done first-time out showing the ability needed to win a race of this nature and he’s the suggestion over the Archie Watson trained Abadie. He’s likely to be an improved model after some modifications from a yard always to be respected with 2yo’s. Vulcan (one for nurseries) and Mira Star two others expected to improve this time around.
