Mister New York has won over 1m4f on the Polytrack and has been quite highly-tried in his two starts over timber. This represents a drop in class so he is probably worth a second look if the market speaks in his favour. The four-year-old Glorybe only found one too good at Wetherby in November, while Aviador didn't appear to stay a longer trip last time and has place claims again. But the form pick has to be SIRE DE GRUGY, who ran a nice race in an All-Weather bumper at Kempton 11 days ago having previously chased home the well-regarded Bobs Worth over hurdles at the same track in November.
