Plenty of these come into the race with chances and it is not easy to pin down just one selection. However, Harrison Point has scope for improvement and is just preferred over the in-form Acomb along with Son Of Halling and Langford, who are short listed as live dangers. Welcome Stranger would also have to come into the argument if he consents top put in anything like he is capable of but he has been well held of his current mark in his last two outings and looks held at the moment. In contrast to Harrison Point, whose last couple of runs have hinted that his turn is not too far away now and another bold effort is anticipated today. The Nureyev colt is adaptable with regard to his style of running but has shown a tendency to like to race with pace - a characteristic that lends itself well to this course.
