Several trainers are double-handed in this. Jockey bookings would suggest that Tadaany is the stable selection of David O'Meara. He's better off at the weights than when behind Victoire De Lyphar and Moonlightnavigator over track and trip in July and won on soft going in Ireland. Father Bertie has been thereabouts off this mark in his last three and is preferred to stablemate Silvery Moon. Miss Van Gogh is eased in grade but Richard Fahey's other runner Our Boy Jack has only been contesting claimers and sellers recently. Argaki and Nicholas T have claims but FINN CLASS (NAP) is very well treated on his form in the spring and encounters a soft surface for the first time since winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup in April.
