No winning favourites in the last 10 years and this year's renewal looks is as open as ever. Grandad's World finished runner-up in hot sprint at York last month with several of these behind. Magical Memory was closest to the former in third place with the likes of Squats, Mukhmal and ROOSSEY well beaten. But that was latter's first start of the year and he could go well at a decent price today having won a Class 2 nursery at Ayr last season. Ahlan Emarati drops in class for this and Primrose Valley showed progressive form on the all-weather over the winter and has the beating of Merdon Castle. Navigate won a lower grade sprint at Chester in May and Mullionheir is another with something to prove at this level.
