Bobby Joe Leg won a division of this last year but was beaten by Saisons D'Or here last month with Chosen World further behind. Pearl Of Qatar was placed yet again when third over 5f here while Crantock Bay has returned a losing favourite on his last three starts. In The Cove and Eldelbar have a shout and are preferred to Tyche but a speculative vote goes the way of handicap debutant GREYFIRE, who has improved since fitted with a tongue-tie and David Barron’s yard is in decent form.
