Hardly the most appetising 'getting-out stakes' for punters who are confronted by not one jot of form to analyse. Consequently, the market will be expected to prove even more instructive on this occasion and the logical decision at this stage is to go with the Nicky Henderson representative in Armaans Wish as the stable enjoys such an excellent strike rate in contests of this type. The son of Presenting has to be of interest and likewise Amitie Waltz, a son of Sinndar representing the Skelton team. However, DREYFUS also makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and is a value option for a yard that can prepare one in these contests. Elegant must be noted in the market as she's a daughter of Oscar, is trained by the shrewd Don Cantillon and Richard Johnson has been booked.
