None of these inspire confidence and a purely speculative vote goes to CHEYENNE RED. He scored over C&D in January and could go close again after defeats in an amateur company and on the Fibresand since. Little Perisher had Avonlini behind when going close here earlier and was caught inside the final furlong when runner-up at Kempton last time, while Mr Skipiton continues to slip down the weights and Bonnie Prince Blue has been placed at Southwell recently.
