A competitive field goes to post for the first on the card with many in form rivals in opposition includingWhat You Know, Princess Claudia and Richie¿s Delight and we aill take a chance on What You Know. The nine year old is game and consistent and a reproduction of his latest second behind Spandau would make him hard to beat. Richie¿s Delight rates the main danger on his second behind Silent Sound but he has since had a crashing fall and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Princess Claudia could also go well on her best form but she was just under 10 lengths behind Grey Ciseaux last time out.. Of the remainder Aliabad is from a shrewd yard and was a fair third behind Dante¿s Battle last time out. He is sure to have come on for the run but we are happy to side with the very gameWhat You Know.
