Not since 2003 has a favourite obliged in this and there's been no three-year-old winners in the same period so Poole Harbour looks to be facing a tough task. Chilli Green is a leading contender however, despite a below-par run in Listed company last time, as she beat Oneladyowner and Piazza San Pietro over C&D in May and the veteran Tax Free ran a big race at York last Saturday when third ahead of Nasri, Head Space, Klynch and El Viento. Johannes is a past winner of this, though stablemate Jedward makes more appeal today, while Fair Value and Jarrow are recent 5f winners and preferred to Novellen Lad, well beaten in this last year. LUTINE BELL caught the eye with a much better effort behind Shropshire at Ascot last month and if that run heralded a return to form then it could be the turn of Mike Murphy's charge today.
