This looks a competitive and fairly deep juvenile event and despite Staxton winning over C&D on his debut the weight he has to give away here gives him a tough task. Diamond Set and Humble Gratitude resume their battle from last time out and that duo both look sure to provide a tough test for COOL SPIRIT who showed very good form on his debut behind a subsequent Group winner. Both Harrogate and Bakht Khan could be useful newcomers and make this a very interesting contest which should produce some future winners.
