     Muskitier 9/2
     Wigmore Hall 5/1(last years winner)
     Forte Dei Marmi 13/2

The favourite SCALO was a running on 3rd over 1.2 last time out at WOODBINE behind FORTE DEL MARMIand is now 6lbs better off.Al Khali has'nt won for over two years and is now 4 lbs better off for finishing 3rd in this race last year to WIGMORE HALL, who defends his crown.Irish Mission is the sole 3 year old who takes on older horses for the first time.Celtic Conviction would prefer it softer and OJIBWAY SIGNAL won a conditions race last time out. For me SCALO would seem to have a lot going for him and his run lto would give confidence that the step up in trip will suit.
