Several course specialists face the starter here but none of the five previous course and distance winners arrive in form. On the going, Jolly Boys Outing may come out best but others are preferred. Roi De Garde has found life tough since scoring at Wetherby in November and needs to drop a few pounds but Time Do is starting to look well handicapped and could figure. ONE MORE DINAR has staged something of a revival at Ludlow since the turn of the year, winning in January before coming up against the prolific Jupiter Rex on his latest start. This is a much stiffer track but he seems in good heart and should give another good account.
