6.50 TINTORETTO (IRE); 7.50 FOX CHAMPION (IRE); SUNSET BREEZE; 8.00 BE PREPARED; CORVAIR (IRE); 10.00 LA MAQUINA; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
Dutch Decoy looks able to reverse recent form with Magical Wish at these weights, with both the Mark Johnston horse and the Richard Hannon gelding (second last year) in with solid chances of a place with a clear run. Tintoretto can't be ruled out, but EPIC ENDEAVOUR could surprise them all if getting an easy lead. First-time cheekpieces may keep him more focussed here and, after fading over a mile recently, this trip could see him in a better light.
