This is a tricky race for punters to call but Coppington Flyer, Apache Point and Printsmith look to be the leading players with the vote going to the last mentioned. The selection has been knocking on the door recently and a reproduction of her latest second behind Air of Esteem at Southwell would make her hard to beat. She finished narrowly ahead of Apache Point that day who looks to have good place claims here, but there is nothing to suggest that he will be capable of reversing the placings. Coppington Flyer likes to come from off the pace and he would certainly be interesting on the pick of his form, but he has plenty to prove at present. Illustrious Duke is another capable of going well in this grade but for the winner we return to Printsmith.
