The Newest One and Barbados Buck's are both closely related to star performers and could be anything, while other newcomers such as Time Flies By and Big G are also respected. Fergal O'Brien has won this the last two years and his newcomer BUTTE MONTANA is a tentative selection to maintain the sequence at decent odds in a race the yard clearly target. They're in fine form at present too. Of the previous winners A Book Of Intrigue looks best, while Cary's Commodity should have won last time but swerved and unseated rider close home. Grumpy Charley and Mahler's Promise are others worth a glance.
