Course specialist Fastnet Storm would have been the selection had he been better drawn David Barron's front-runner could still go close if things went his way but, drawn closer to the running rail, KENSEI is preferred. David O'Meara's charge only found San Cassiano too good over C&D last time and can race off the same mark today. Ailsa Craig and Epernay may also be undone by a wide draw, but the three-year-old King Of The Celts will have no excuses from stall two and was in good form when last seen. Last month's Beverley third Ginger Jack has dropped to a decent mark and may be the pick of the remainder ahead of the frustrating Hidden Glory.
