Trainer Dean Smith has a very strong hand in this race. LAGUNA VERDE has a very bad draw to overcome but is in good form and can score. SILVONIAN was caught very late last time out and can go one better. CHEEKY LADDIE does not always show his best form but is distance suited and would not be a surprise winner. PAS DE NOM has been running in better races than this and will like it on the grass but gives weight to all his rivals. NEW MEXICO is better than his last run would suggest and is not out of it. EXQUISITE and PORFIRIO have been good of late and are others to consider.
