Flanagans Field has a modest strike-rate but is capable of popping up in a race like this off his current mark. Roser Moter drops into a seller for the first time but we’ll take a chance that GLIMPSE OF GOLD is on a going day as the eight-year-old is probably a bit better than a plater and he’ll be more at home on the good going than some of his rivals. Vocal Heir had a run on the all-weather last month but is 0-12 over hurdles.
