The veteran SIR EDWIN LANDSEER has been a model of consistency this winter and is given the vote to get his head in front at the expense of Lindoro and Mutamared. The selection is yet to win since joining Gary Moores stable last summer. That said he has appeared to have been unlucky on the odd occasion and never seems to run a bad race. He has conditions in his favour and is sure to give his supporters another good run for their money. Lindoro won a handicap at Epsom last October but has since been disappointing. He ran a little better after a short break at this venue last time out and the drop to six furlongs may play into his strengths as well so he is worth noting. Mutamared has been a little star over the years winning thirteen times in the process. He has been claimed a couple of times over the past twelve months but is now back in the hands of Andrew Reid and has every chance of entering the frame once again. Sir Edwin Landseer is the form horse in the race and gets the narrow vote.
