A typically competitive renewal in which it's almost impossible to put a line through any of the 22 runners, though three-year-olds have struggled in recent years which doesn't bode well for penalised York winner George Dryden, Harry Hurricane or Indescribable. Caspian Prince is very quick and just held off Highland Acclaim over this trip at York last month when a number of these were behind. B Fifty Two came back to form at Haydock last week but stablemate Lucky Beggar is also respected and Robot Boy and Secretinthepark could be allowed to start at inflated odds. ASHPAN SAM will also be a decent price but has the pace to take a prominent position in the centre of the track and is not badly handicapped on the best of his form. He might give supporters a run for their money while it's interesting that Steps is turned out again quickly having missed the break in a Listed race here on Wednesday. Suzi's Connoisseur is another with fair claims.
