Ishetoo has the potential to win this at the expense of New York Oscar and Nomoreblondes. Ishetoo can be a major contender here as he was in winning form at Ayr last time out and as a result has a penalty to lump around. He is less exposed than most of his rivals and has the potential for more improvement so is worth siding with. New York Oscar carries a penalty for his effort too for winning at lingfield last time out. He does have a fair amount of weight to give away and is therefore best watched. Nomoreblondes is another who warrents repect after showing promise over course and distance last time out when second to Hawaii Prince. Another bold run is expected but the tentitive vote goes to Ishetoo.
