Altregan Boy managed to win here last time out from a country mile out of the handicap and while he is hardly an original choice, he is the most logical selection in this contest. Rigadoon managed to force his head infront after three winless years. He isn't the easiest of rides though and with his tendency to sulk during the race, he seems a bit too worldly-wist these days. He had Sabi Sand well behind on that occasion but the conditions should suit the latter here. Any monies for Agincourt would be highly interesting. He went well for this jockey during his amateur days and the Upson string seem to be in decent nick at the moment.
