Exterior, Disparity and Brough Supreme look the three to concentrate on here and the confident vote goes to Exterior. The selection was a fair third on his debut last season behind Stevedore and, although he has not run for a while, with his stable now back in good form he is taken to make a winning debut this season under conditions that suit. Disparity rates the main danger. She showed improved form last time out when fourth behind Rawkaan and, if she improves again, she would have definite place claims. Brough Supreme is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has had plenty of chances and it will be disappointing if a less-exposed horse does not beat him. Of the remainder, Port Sodrick is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Exterior.
