Winning pointer Supreme Gift has run well enough in all three starts under Rules and Give Me A Cuddle was second here last month, though still beaten 11 lengths. Nightboat To Cairo is almost certainly better than he showed at Newbury in February but a couple of newcomers are more interesting. All A Struggle is by proven NH sire Kayf Tara and a half-brother to two winners but BILLY BOI BLUE is out of a mare who has produced winners with all four of her offspring to so far race so he gets the nod.
