Sir Tantallus Hawk gets the confident vote in this bumper with Desert Stag and Minus Three rating the main dangers. The selection won well on his debut when beating Le Vert Gallant, looks sure to improve and despite his penalty he will be hard to beat. Desert Stag rates the main danger on his debut fourth behind Blistering he is another that is sure to improve but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time and looks opposable on that basis. Minus Three is a well bred gelding by Exit To Nowhere and should be watched in the market while Ambrosia's Promise hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and should be watched in the market but for the winner we return to Sir Tantallus Hawk who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
