This looks something of a lottery but Mount Wellington won over 7f here last month with Seraphim behind and the latter subsequently dead-heated for first over track and trip with It Must Be Faith. ALMURR finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring over course and distance, with Black Isle Boy behind, and gets the speculative vote raised only 3lb. Zebulon, Daring Guest and Klopp are others with a shout while Captain Power is preferred to Ken's Sam's of the Irish raiders.
