A number of these arrive here in good form and from a shortlist of Prior Warning, Grazeon Gold Blend and Great Charm we will put forward Grazeon Gold Blend as the pick. John Quinn's 5-year-old is a course and distance winner and he was far from disgraced when he chased home Bel Cantor at Pontefract last time. He will not be inconvenienced by a bit of cut in the ground and he can regain the winning thread. Prior Warning is interesting as he went close last time at Newmarket and he should be suited by this extra furlong as he was doing his best work at the finish over 5f last time. Great Charm has been in good nick of late but there were signs last time that the handicapper was beginning to get his measure. Geojimali and Bond City are others that can go well, but for the winner we will stick with Grazeon Gold Blend.
