This may have attracted a maximum field but it’s a case of more quantity than quality. Cosmo Renfro is sure to be popular as the only recent winner in the contest but LIGHT PARADE (NAP) is probably more consistent than the majority. He may still be 6lb higher than for his only previous victory but Danny King claims a valuable 3lb. Great Island and Storm Mahler, both winners earlier in the year, appeal most of the remainder.
