Quite a few arrive in good form and Sands Chorus has an excellent course record and this confirmed front-runner seems sure to go well again under Joe Fanning, despite the ascent to a career-high mark. Magic City has landed two of his last five and should take a hand along with Boots And Spurs, a course winner here earlier this month. Jacbequick is weighted to go well off this mark off the back off a couple of competitive efforts but CARNAGEO is just preferred. The Fahey gelding has gone well here in the past and now sports blinkers for the first time.
