None of these have looked like winning so far and the betting may offer some clues as most go handicapping for the first time. A token vote goes to OLIMBA, who finished closer over 7f at Doncaster last time and will appreciate this longer trip. Fille De La Lune has placed on a couple of occasions without threatening the winner while Oh Great hails from a powerful yard in fine form and Alphonse Le Grande is another to note.
