There's quality on show with the likes of
Constantine Bay,
Barney Dwan and quite possibly the unexposed
Over To Sam, but what ability remains with them is open to question. If any of them are fit and well after absences they would be a danger, but it may pay to stick with recent form and on that,
NESTOR PARK gets the vote. His Newcastle win was given a boost when runner-up Arthur Mac ran well in the Grade 1 novice stayers contest at Aintree and he's clearly none the worse for his Aintree mishap.
Bobo Mac has chances of repeating last year's win in this, especially if there's a drop of rain around.
Ocean Cove and
Potters Hedger would appreciate rain too.
- Nestor Park
- Bobo Mac
