This looks competitive but ABBOTSFORD appeals as the type to progress now his stamina is tested further (also gelded since last seen) for a yard who boast a strong record at this meeting and earns the vote. Fellow 3-y-o Mergus Serrator and Daddy Long Legs are others to consider, with Sunny South West and New Bay Star, a rare Irish runner for Mick Appleby, completing the shortlist.
