A tough puzzle by any standards, there are reasons to suggest plenty of these have a chance. Riven Light is an intriguing runner having his first start on the Flat for the champion jumps trainer, he may well have the talent to produce a big run in this. With just three runs under his belt, Sandstorming has scope to improve on his handicap debut and is respected alongside last time out winner Sea The Lion and Spruce Meadows. MAWAANY may be the answer however. He won his first two starts for this handler before running into trouble in running last time at Cork. He was about to challenge there and, with better luck, can have a big say in this.
