Barito ran well on his debut this season at Clairefontaine when fourth behind Musardo and is sure to have come on for the run. The German raider goes on the ground and is the TEAMtalk selection. Bicycle Thief would have a chance on his best form and goes on the ground. He ran as if in the handicapper's grip over hurdles and the switch to fences could bring about improvement. Ins And Outs also showed enough over hurdles to suggest he can win a race like this but he has a long absence to overcome. Ashbury Star will like the ground but has become disappointing. Midy's Risk is fit but needs to improve on his latest fourth behind Dream With Me over hurdles and lacks some scope compared to the principals. The remainder need to improve on their latest form to score.
