Lord On The Run, Priscilla and Sunley Future look the three to concentrate on here with the confident nomination going to Priscilla. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but a reproduction of her latest second behind Magico looks rock solid and off the same mark here will be hard to beat. Lord On The Run rates the main danger on his latest second behind Rubberdubber but he is becoming expensive to follow and at likely odds looks worth taking on. Sunley Future was a fair third behind First De La Brunie but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion and for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder Madison de Vonnas and Lubinas both could go well but where let down by their jumping last time so can not be put forward with any confidence and with this in mind for the winner we return to Priscilla.
