He is short, but on the other hand, he had CD form and we can be sure he goes on soft ground. Those two things make him a solid favourite in my opinion.
It's not a race i am having a bet in.
I doubt very much if Duke Of Marmalade will like the ground. He hasn't been risked on anything softer than good in his career so far.
It will be very tactical, and we can get strange results at this time of the year. Blue Ksar winning will not surprise me one bit. He goes on the ground. I think he has won all his starts on soft ground and we know he stays further than a mile. If he gets an easy lead and enjoys himself, he could be difficult to peg back.
