A low grade cavalry charge in which last year's winner Sunrise Dance can race off the same mark. Tuibama and Mey Blossom have also won this contest before, but ADIATOR arrives in better form having gone close off today's mark at Beverley last week and scoring at Newcastle before that. The latter gets the vote ahead of recent Musselburgh runner-up Spring Bird while I'll Be Good finished ahead of Windforpower when second in soft ground at Catterick and can also figure. Decision By One finally posted a better effort at Beverley last time having tumbled down the weights and may get involved.
