In an event that is little better than a seller, Peacock Theatre gets the narrow vote. He showed ability to handle the conditions in handing a large margin beating to Grain Storm last season and doesn't have too many miles on the clock. Cap It If You Can seems to revel in these sorts of races but is a far better horse on a faster surface. Two Lords had decent form a couple of seasons ago on the soft and despite not upholding the high esteem he was held in by the trainer, he could be a live danger if reproducing anything like that form here.
