    This is the strongest looking entry I’ve seen for this in years.

    Straight off, the likes of………

    Delta Work
    Feronily
    Churchstonewarrior
    James Du Berlais
    Tyre Kicker
    Three Card Brag

    ………would all be Antepost contenders in a normal year, but this is bloody tough

    Coko Beach is one of those that I can’t leave alone in races like this, and though off top weight, makes huge appeal. Jockey booking could be crucial. I’m also conscious that he might have a quieter season, with The Cross Country now a handicap, but he basically bets himself for me

    Chianti Classico was really impressive on Saturday, and though I can’t see him travelling over, I think he can progress outwith handicaps this year, and he’s one I’d consider.

    If I put my sensible head on, then American Mike or Chemical Energy, off what look fair marks, should be high on the shortlist. I think they have an obvious look to them. It’s their stablemate Riaan though, who I’m veering towards, and though I’m going to try and hold fire with an Antepost, Riaan is looking like the one who’d maybe see me buckle. No doubt though, I’ll probably end up with The Goffer

    Riaan
