Little Bruce hasn’t had much racing in the last couple of years but is a strong stayer. Irish Prophecy could figure if on a going day and Fergal O’Brien is sure to find a race or two for Soldier Of Love but Sizing Cusimano has rather lost the plot lately. ORGANDI finished ahead of several of these when third at Worcester, including Bbold and the subsequent dual winner El Paso Wood, so gets a tentative vote.
