Not many with obvious chances in the opener. It would have been nice to see more from Blossoming Forth on her rules debut, but she could do much better now jumping hurdles and up in trip. Another plus could be soft ground, as plenty of Flemensfirth's progeny act well on it. Therefore, she is not ruled out, but preference this time is for FITZROY, who has shown more so far and should also benefit from going further here. Oscar Robertson looks to have the potential to have a say, while Rare Clouds is not ruled out of the money.
