Verdict

There was a lot to like about the way Sulley Hope stuck to the task when he got off the mark on these shores at Kelso last month and, as such, he is fancied to follow up here. The in-form Solway Minstrel and Speed Kris are respected as dangers but lack the scope held by the selection and are passed over in favour of Harrovian as the one who could pose the most problems today - although Caesar's Palace is always dangerous to dismiss at this level and he can also go well for each-way players. However, Sulley Hope, who has some very useful form to his name from his time in Ireland, is expected to improve for the step up in trip and has enough improvement left in him to enable him to give weight away all round today.
