Auden's recent victory came on the Fibresand and Sutton Sid makes more appeal having won a similar event over track and trip last time. The latter is also preferred to Yourinthewill, a runner-up on Turf the last time he competed in a seller. PADDY'S SALTANTES ran well for third in a tougher plating race than this over course and distance a fortnight ago and looks to have every chance on today's terms. Stan Moore's charge gets the vote with the remainder looking up against it both at the weights and on recent form.
