Sue Smith is doubly represented in the marathon with Camden George and Rebel Swing, both of whom would have decent claims on the best of their form though they need to raise their game again after recent efforts. Preference would be for the younger of the pair but hopefully this will be the day that OVERYOU finally gets his head. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the attitude of Chris Grant's charge, despite his form figues. Et Maintenant may have stamina limitations and the going looks to soft for Call Me Mulligan but it would be no surprise to see Blazing Diva play a part off a low weight, though she appears to have two ways of running.
