A competitive and high quality field in the Grade and plenty with chances.

 

At the head of the market Blue Cup and Harrovian are clearly big dangers but at the prices both have fitness to prove and more importantly can they handle this most quirky of tracks?.

 

Victory Chime can as a Course and Distance win proves but both wins have come in Class 3 and tis has the look and feel of a genuine Class2 contest.

 

Not for the first time and definitely not the last there is a recurring theme.

 

Course form tick, Distance form tick, looks out of form but well handicapped tick, fit from regular racing with a possible fitness advantage tick, Mark Johnson tick, Joe Fanning tick.

 

5 lbs above winning Course and Distance win from the front but twice placed in Class 2 handicaps off this mark since on Turf.

 

SKY DEFENDER kind of jumps off the page at nice each way Odds for that reason. Probable it will try try lead and get the rest out of their comfort zone and as a result unbalanced down the hill.
