Amazing Grazing represents last year’s winning yard but still looks high enough in the weights. Abel Handy drops in class and can figure having finished in front of Duke Of Firenze at Doncaster at the end of last year. Alsvinder has been in winning form on the all-weather and Super Julius scored over track and trip recently for which he’s been raised 5lb. Course regular Our Place In Loule landed a hat-trick over course and distance before finishing fourth back at the track behind runner-up BURMESE BLAZER. The latter should sharper today having been slowly away last time and Jim Goldie’s charge gets the vote.
