SET LIST has decent prospoects of following up last year's success in this race. Emma Lavelle's charge has been given a break so should be fresh and well for the task ahead running off a 1lb lower mark than 12 months ago. Play The Ace did it nicely over C&D last time, and while this is a tougher task he should still be thereabouts, and if Danandy is fit after his 21 month lay-off he would make them all go . It's a big 'if' though. Cernunnos represents a yard in fine form and can't be ruled out, while Irish raider Honky Tonk Star is another who may well get involved.
