Plenty with potential in a race where the betting is likely to be informative. The suggestion is SAUNTON SURF who has switched to the Warren Greatrex yard since her stylish Aintree bumper win in May. Alan King's Baby Sage is another who showed enough in bumpers to think she can make her presence felt in a race like this, while the likes of Von Hallers, who represents last year's winning yard, Kit's Coty and Star of Hoiho are interesting recruits from the Irish pointing field.
