On form, this should be between Resolution Bay and HIGH SECRET. The former impressed when winning over a similar distance at Exeter in November, and may have had his stamina stretched when fading quickly over slightly further here last time. The second named, though, shades preference due to his close third behind Lough Derg Spirit and Peter the Mayo Man at Musselburgh last time. That race that is the stand-out piece of form and is working out well with the runner-up (who beat the selection by less than a length that day) finishing a good third in a Grade 2 next time. Boagrius could be next best if putting last time's disappointment behind him.
