Irish Cavalier was quite impressive at Stratford last month but was helped by a shocking performance from the odds-on favourite. Master Red won bumpers at Wetherby and Sedgefield last season and makes obvious appeal but GOOHAR could offer more value. He also showed plenty of promise in a couple of bumper runs and there is more to come from Henry Daly's four-year-old. Regal Swain failed to win in 13 attempts on the Flat and is likely to come up short again here.
