Izbushka has hinted at ability while Tony Carroll supplied the winner of this last year so San Quentin and Oakley Dancer might be worth a second look in a race in which the market should be a decent guide. Moon Over Rio was lightly raced on the Flat and is likely to do better over timber while Come On Sunshine represents the yard that won this in 2012. ARIANRHOD is a tentative selection as he probably had the best form the level with a couple of fourth places on the Polytrack in March and he was second on heavy ground in Italy at the end of last year.
