Immortal Fame was only third behind Bert Wilson here in March but is 7lb better off so there may not be much between the pair today. GROOM DE COTTE was knocking on the door around the turn of the year. He appeals as the type to go well fresh and could finally open his account here, though Duke Of Moravia is another who won’t be far away if fully wound-up and Gaye Legacy also has claims. Mammies Boy has plenty of scope and looks best of the rest.
