Impossible to oppose Sir Harry Ormesher here. The selection showed decent form for his previous connections in decent company and wasn't hardpressed to make a winning debut for his new yard at Warwick in February. He didn't have a great deal to beat that day but he has even less on his plate this afternoon. Captain Smoothy is the obvious one to chase him home having shown some form albeit at a modest level but the other two are open to improvement. Walkingonsunshine is bred for this game but will probably need a fence before coming into his own but Celtic Treasure's two runs in bumpers haven't offered a great deal of encouragement. This is a simple task for Sir Harry Ormesher.
