CHERISH was in rampant form last season when winning six times in seven starts. She was punished accordingly by the handicapper but has won off this mark and returned from a break recently to run a fair fifth of seven, only beaten three lengths. Delagate This Lord keeps threatening to get his head in front and should be competitive off his current mark while recent winners Vandad and Charming Kid can not be discounted. Gherkin and Symbol of Hope are also in decent form while Han Solo Berger is respected down in grade.
