Oriental Relation won at Chelmsford recently and is 4lb higher today. He beat Under Siege on that occasion but the latter was having his first start since October and should be sharper for this. Stellarta ran out the narrow winner at Lingfield a fortnight ago while Quintus Cerialis finished ahead of Honcho when second at the track on his latest start. VARSOVIAN was not beaten far at Lingfield behind Fleckerl last time. Dropping down a grade, Dean Ivory's sprinter can confirm superiority with Luis Vaz De Torres and Secret Glance in the process of landing this.
