A fittingly large and illustrious field contests this prestigious event. Hope Street was an expensive mid season purchase moving to Anfield Road from Rubi Rocks. His new trainer will be looking to recoup the cost here and given the level of form shown so far has every chance of doing so. However his trainer runs four in this and stablemate Stroll In The Rain looks a big threat assuming this is his first choice as he is also entered in the dirt marathon over 1 3/4m. However neither Champions League nor Phar Lap have quite shown enough to suggest either can lift this prize. Blue Empire (True Blue Stable) may struggle under a double penalty. Anxiety was holding a little back last time and should go close but may struggle to contain easy winner Stroll In The Rain. Mani and Maniac Distinction are both maidens from Illiterate Bunch who get all the weight allowances and some pieces of good form means that neither can be ruled out. Nemesis Stud has given impeccably bred Cosmic Explosion a light campaign, reaching the final both unpenalised and unexposed, whilst stablemates Tonys Alibi needs further and Mosquito Squadron needs shorter. Green As Grass runs A Rare Delight who has campaigned mainly over further and also needs to improve.
