No sight of a winning favourite in the last 10 years and this looks no easier. Richard Hughes' presence suggests Wall of Fire is preferred to Somers Lad of the Hannon pair while Approcaillis hails from last year's winning yard. Of the newcomers, Dark Shot is out of a Wokingham winner and preferred to Fawaareq and Justice Law while Short Work is related to eight winners. But SPANISH CITY (NAP) is a half-brother to the high-class Middle Park winner Charming Thought and has an entry in the latter event as well as the Gimcrack at York next month. He could be the one to side with in this.
