Berea Boru won over course and distance on heavy going last month but this quicker surface is not in his favour and both Kayf Moss and TOUR DES CHAMPS have a chance of reversing recent Ffos Las running today. The handicapper is finally showing some leniency to the latter and he gets a tentative vote. The ground may still not be fast enough for Ned Stark and Seebright is best watched at present but Chase The Spud beat a decent sort in Fingal Bay at Exeter so can't be ignored. Minella On Line is still a maiden but has hinted at ability on occasions and could run into a place.
