Bank Bonus would have an excellent chance after his fine run in a big field at Galway but with his stable struggling for winners he's overlooked in favour of COLDSTONESOBER, who was just behind him in that race. He may just have found the 2m4f trip too far on that occasion and his run over fences a few days later is best ignored. Childrens List is a promising stayer who may not be suited by this small field while Silver Tassie and The Bosses Cousin are chasers and the four-year-old Crafty Codger has a lot to do.
