Always Flying, Ace Coming and Rabitatit are likely to be at the head of the market and we believe that Ace Coming can score a quick double for Don Eddy. Already proven on the surface, he is only penalised 6lbs for that recent Newcastle victory and is still some ten pounds better in than he was last year. Paul Hanagan rides. Always Flying is likely to be popular for Mark Johnston although his ability to handle the surface very much has to be taken on trust. Rabitatit is another to take a first spin on a softer surface and it is something of a worry that John O'Shea has not had a flat winner for over 230 days. Time To Relax has an interesting jockey booking while of the remainder, Musical Lyrics is watched with a view of the future. Ace Coming is duly selected on all recent evidence.
