As ever with races of this nature, the betting market will give us a significant pointer as to whether our selection, Dusit Down, has the confidence of his connections behind him today. Others to bear in mind when drawing up a shortlist of alternatives include: Bar Gayne, who hails from an in-form yard and promises to make an impact in this sphere, Classic Sight, who has experience on her side and should ensure that they all know they have been in a race, while Turnnocard is an interesting newcomer that should benefit from the outing today. However, Dusit Down really caught the eye under a tender ride on his introduction in a warmer contest than this at Chepstow and, with that run expected to have taught him a lot, Dusit Down is fancied to be a different proposition this afternoon.
