Holy Water has been in reasonable form over hurdles and is tried in blinkers while Jan Van Eyck has produced a couple of very good runs on Turf recently and would be a threat if taking to Polytrack. Carried looks to be coming back to the kind of form that has seen him win here in the past while Udogo's only success came over 1m3f, the furthest he has raced over. FIRST IN THE QUEUE hasn't been in the best of form but looks very well treated at his best and this looks a good opportunity to gain the tenth victory of his career.
