Master Builder is likely to be high profile after landing a gamble in smooth fashion here in May and he still has a competitive mark. The latter point also seems to apply to plenty of his opponents, though, and the highly progressive SAY WHAT YOU SEE could really be going places judged on his previous two runs in cheekpieces. How much rain has fallen on Thursday could be crucial to a lot of these, including seemingly to Irish challenger Truth Be Told who would have been the selection if he'd been guaranteed to get ground which was okay for him, but he was below form last June in a soft-ground race and has been withdrawn twice since when the going was soft. The shortlist is completed by rejuvenated Primo Lara.[Richard Austen]
