This doesn't look the strongest of handicaps so Ffos Las second Air Of York goes on the short-list and Corporal Maddox would be interesting on past form. Gold Hunter would also have a squeak but the three-year-olds See You When and HE'S MY CRACKER may well fight out the finish with preference for Clive Cox' charge, who ran well on similar going at Windsor in May.
