Grandee Line, Mister Magpie, and Sylphide are three against the field in another tough race to call and the tentative vote goes to Grandee Line. The selection was a fair fourth behind Prokofiev last time and a reproduction of that effort would make hard to beat. Mister Magpie rates the main danger on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late and for that reason he is opposed. Sylphide is another that could go well as he appears not to stay three miles last time out. Walcot Lad has conditions to suit but looks in the handicappers grip. Of the remainder Kaid has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Grandee Line.
