The 20-runner amateur event that starts the card can go to Todlea, with Jacaranda, Liberty Royal, Phred and, possibly, Oh So Rosie others to look out for. The selection has so far failed to fully deliver on his reputation but ran well enough when backed at Windsor behind War Owl last time to suggest he is up to winning a race and, being from a canny yard, this might just be the one. Jacaranda is back on a winning mark, is well drawn and has a very good rider booked so comes firmly into the argument. The Gaikwar should be able to go well from his current mark, while Liberty Royal took to the cheekpieces last time and, well drawn, is another to give some thought to. Phred is back to a winning mark, while Irish winner Oh So Rosie is possibly one to look out for in the betting. The above-named seem to be the principals, with our vote going to Todlea.
