If Alfred The Great turns up he will win this easily but he was entered at Kelso yesterday and with this in mind the principals look to be Calfraz Lerida and Oscar d'Hyrome and the vote is given to Calfraz. The selection was a fair third behind Gardasee last time out that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Lerida rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Golden Feather but he has given the impression he would be suit by a longer trip in the past and for that reason he is opposed. Oscar d'Hyrome has shown a modicum of ability and is another with place claims but his stable are out of form of late so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder In Dream's hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer but for the winner we return to Calfraz unless Alfred The Great turns up.
