Was on the premises (second, beaten just over 2l) over 1m at Vaal (handicap) five months ago; returns from an absence here; likely to be in contention as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest and good draw could make things easier.

Verdict

A pretty evenly matched field. Oklahoma Smokeshow should put up plenty of resistance while Clarkson and Gran Canaria are interesting. However, FRERE JACQUES sets the benchmark. He is hard to ignore from an attractive draw.
