None of these inspire confidence though both Blue Beret and SCHEHERAZADE have both won over shorter trips on Turf this year. The former could only manage fifth on an earlier attempt over course and distance so a token vote goes to the latter running over this far for the first time. Williamwilberforce finished closer at Newcastle last time and Izar may improve now handicapping.
