As discussed with Bill Gallo yesterday on ATR, remember that the new configuration means the last fence is on the backside, so speed through the turn and to the wire are at a premium..
1st:William Entenmann Memorial, 4+, 17f (P3, DD)
Most Likely: #10 Choral Society 7-2 DNF-Left course

2nd: Lonesome Glory H. (G1), 4+, 18f (P3, DD)
Bob Le Beau certainly a deserving fave but impossible to take 6-5 adding 14# against a variety of intriguing upset candidates. Hinterland (20-1) had a buzz about him ahead of first U.S. start in Turf Writers and now you'll get gaudy ML number after he faltered at 8-1. Dawalan (10-1) is making U.S. debut for owner Irv Naylor who rarely picks bad ones out of Europe. Trainer Cyril Murphy is 3 for 8 with first time North America runners and this 5yo Azamour gray gets a 17-19# drop at the scales since his last 3 encounters at Aintree, Cheltenham and Musselburgh. Scored with Diplomat (4-1) at more than 9-1 at the end of the season upstate and the Charlie Baker 'first of the claim' 6yo is certainly eligible here with further improvement. 4-1 too low..
