A 4yo horse based on a B class horse (Harvester Of Eyes<\/B>) and bred by afc2<\/I>. Despite winning a stakes race as a 2yo this chap has struggled to repeat that performance in later years.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In fairness he hasn\u2019t been entered in too many stakes races of late despite putting up some pretty good allowance runs and his form has looked so good in his last three races that this big step up is more than warranted.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He went seriously wrong back in March but seems to have recovered nicely and I would expect him to put up a pretty good showing in this one although.<\/SPAN><\/P>

A 4yo scratch bred horse. A very fast graded winning horse who comes here on the back of a disappointing G1 race last time out, where he was comfortably beaten by K\u2019s Intense(IRE)<\/B> and finished well down the field. He did however get a great second place just before that in which he beat today\u2019s favourite, Otto Vasher<\/B>, by a very wide margin,\u00a0 <\/SPAN>though he will need to be at his very best to repeat that performance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good place odds for a horse who finds it hard to find wining spots at this level.<\/SPAN><\/P>

A 4yo horse bred from an F class mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He ran away with his last race with a personal best SP# so is in great form just now, and it was the culmination of a very consistent set of performances this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>You have to feel that he\u2019s got a number of stakes wins to come if he can maintain his current work rate, and though he had an easy win over Scythian(KY)<\/B> earlier this year, he has a mixed record against Another Hopeful(IRE), so he\u2019ll maybe have to settle for a minor placing in this dynamite field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
