Galtee View gets the vote here with Eljay's Boy and Maidstone Monument rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time when beating Here Comes Harry and although he has a penalty for that win he won in the style of an improver and under similar conditions here he is taken to win again.Eljay's Boy rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Amadeus. However the fitting of a first time tongue strap and step up in trip has to be of concern and for that reason he is opposed. Maidstone Monument is another that could go well as he was a fair fifth in a better race behind Shaadiva last time this looks easier and he should be monitored in the market. Of there remainder Longueville Manor is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Galtee View.
