A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Sukey, Little Grace, Moorlands Milly and Classic Quart and the confident vote goes to Sukey. The selection is from a yard that does well in these types of events and this well bred gelding by Sula Bula will not need to be anything special to win this on his debut. Moorlands Milly rates the main danger is another that catches an eye on breeding being Sooty Tern filly, half-sister to winning chasers MoorlandsSpirit and Moorlands Again and bumper winner Moorlands Return she is another to note in the market. Classic Quart at least has experience having showed improved form to be fourth behind There Is No Doubt last time that form gives him place claims but he lacks the scope of some of the newcomers. Of the remainder Little Gracie was only 18 lengths behind the highly regarded Senorita Rumbalita last time and is another sure to improve but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Sukey.
