Harry Potter, Brazilian Terrace, Adobe, Huxley, and Tagula Blue form our shortlist here in a tight little affair, with the vote going to Tagula Blue. The selection won over course and distance at this time last year from a mark of 72 so, now rated 69, has to hold a good chance. Harry Potter runs quickly after his Ayr win so comes here in good heart, while Brazilian Terrace, a course and distance winner is not far above a winning mark, and Adobe is also entitled to be competitive from a more-realistic rating now also. Huxley has a clear chance based on his Irish form of last year and looked to be making steps in the right direction last time. This list is not an all-inclusive one which, once again, gives you an idea of how competitive a race this is. It should provide a good spectacle and Tagula Blue might be the one to lead them home.
