Not much public form to go on and, as ever in these type of events, the market will provide plenty of clues. Newcomers Gazump and Native Star represent powerful yards andcould easily be good enough while of those to have raced Gastornis may prove vulnerable under a penalty but Brooklyn Breeze, Kippour and Minster Bay have all shown ability and set a fair standard. TEAMtalk preference is for the last named who has a fitness edge over his main rivals and looks ready to strike after encouraging efforts when runner-up on two previous starts both at Sedgefield last month.
