With doubts concerning most of the participants, the safest bet here looks to be Morse, who is preferred to all-weather winner Peruvian Style and Lualua. The last mentioned makes his debut in handicap company today and could be feasibly well treated stepping up from the minimum trip. A market move for the son of Presidium would be of interest. Peruvian Style has yet to prove that he is as effective on turf as on the sand and is probably best watched, while Benbaun seems to have been dealt a hard blow by the handicapper. Times Review reverts to sprinting having failed to stay a mile on his final start as a juvenile and could be of interest along with Mark Johnston's West Country but the vote goes to Morse. Jamie Osborne's colt showed enough when second in a better race than this at Kempton last month that a contest of this nature would be well within his compass and lost no caste in defeat in a classified stakes race at Windsor last time. Morse is taken to go one better here.
