This looks set to be fast and furious with several of these who like to be up with the pace. Tancred Times could well take some pegging back despite the steadier of ten stone. The three-year-old Valazar is open to improvement, but he faces some battle hardened rivals here, while King Of Peru, a lucky winner at Musselburgh is another who lucks sure to run well. Old timer Sotonian, the first time visored Pop The Cork and Safranine, who will be partnered by Kevin Darley are others worthy of consideration.
