None of these inspire confidence and TORERO gets only a speculative vote. His recent placed efforts over today's trip on Turf look the best form on offer and he has the beating of both Souter Point and Excellent News on last month's third at Leicester. Waahej is getting progressively closer without actually threatening to win while Tropical Bachelor has a shout on last year's form but has been off the track for over a year. Finch Flyer may turn out best of the remainder in a poor handicap.
