SHANTOU FLYER has the clear edge on form and can boast a course win too so looks the way to go here with this longer distance expected to prove within his compass. Give Me A Copper arrives in good nick and is next on the list ahead of Law of Gold and Dawson City who can fight it out for minor honours.
