Tamarillo Grove and PASSING CALL came home first and fourth here when last seen and both are expected to play a leading role once again. With both having a course and distance success on their CV and conditions fine for both, the latter is taken to turn the form around at the revised weights. However, this is far from being a two-horse affair with recent Huntingdon winner, Panko, also well respected although the punishment of an 11lb rise for that victory seems unduly harsh. Bleu Et Noir must be kept on the right side along with the highly likeable and consistent Magical Thomas who always seems to run his race and should be in the shake-up once again.
