Some real characters on show here and it could prove to be a bit of a minefield for punting purposes. Hibernate makes plenty of appeal on the pick of his form but he needs to dominate his field and the way he capitulated last time is a little off-putting and there is always the suggestion that his style of running will set the race up for something else. Miss Sanders is of interest in this grade but there has to be a stamina doubt about her over this trip and others may be finishing with a bit more of a flourish. Prince Nicholas fits the bill at a push and although he has been lightly campaigned over the last couple of seasons, he only has to run up to his previous form to be a big threat to them all. Bold Amusement is an admirable performer and has won here a couple of times before. He should also be on the premises and is no forlorn hope of stealing it late on.
