Tallulah Mai has had just eight career starts, all on either fast ground or Polytrack, so it's uncertain how she'll handle these very testing conditions. Galantos has won just once in 18 starts over timber and was beaten a distance when last seen in April but Man Of Leisure has run well enough in the past when the mud has been flying. The only success for Hector's House so far came in a seller, though this isn't much better, and Snow Patrol has never improved from his victory over the C&D in 2007. GROSS PROPHET hasn't shown too much so far over timber but was placed from a higher mark in April and this eight-times Flat winner is given the nod in a poor finale.
