Not a race to be going overboard about. But Semper Paratus has shaped up well at this sort of level and gets another chance to prove himself capable of getting his head in front. Rose Of York and Dispol Peto are others with sound claims, while Fest Of Romance has held his form well recently and is always one to be feared in this sort of company. However, it is worth noting that he was out of luck on eleven separate occasions before he broke his duck at Southwell last February and has been short of the mark five other times since. Therefore, he remains one for the brave only away from Wolverhampton and others make slightly more appeal. Rose Of York ran well in a claimer here last month and can make the frame with a similar effort today. Whereas Dispol Peto has plenty of course experience to his name and but has plenty to prove on these terms. Smart Scot has claims at the weights this afternoon and is one to monitor for each-way players. However, Semper Paratus makes the most appeal fro win only purposes, as he gets on very well with Michael Tebbut and can be expected to be a lot sharper now that he has a recent run under his belt.
