The inaugural running of this consolation race with only 7lb separating the field. Dannyday was well supported ante-post for the feature event on the card but failed to make the cut. Sir Michael Stoute’s colt won with any amount in hand at Chelmsford on his only start of the year so far but like some of the other leading fancies is drawn wide and will need to some luck in-running if held up. That also applies to the returning Sea Of Heaven, who won over 2m on the old Turf course here last year, and recent Goodwood winner Albahar. Stonecutter has won twice over 2m at Wolverhampton this year and THE CASHEL MAN made a promising reappearance when second over 2m at York last month ahead of Cardinal Walter, Grumeti and Royal Marskell. David Simcock’s charge could run a big race on his all-weather debut along with the in-form Sir Chauvelin and recent Newmarket runner-up and previous Kempton winner Poyle Thomas. Last year’s progressive stayer Wordiness is preferred to Gabrial's Star and stablemate Gabrial's King.
