Another tough handicap for punters to fathom with many of the rivals closely matched but the main protagonists look to be Idaho d'Ox, Log On Intersky and Duchamp and we will take a chance on Log On Intersky. The gelding from the Howard Johnson yard ran as if in need of the run when third behind Tocolino on his debut this season. He is sure to strip a lot fitter here and with conditions in his favour he is taken to score. Idaho D'ox rates the main danger he stayed on well to defeat Nephite last time out and this longer trip looks sure to suit but he will find this harder under his penalty.Duchamp is also worthy of respect he defeated Cadbury Cross in game style last time out but he may struggle under his penalty in this much hotter race. Cill Churain is from a yard in form and could go well off a fair mark the same comment applies to Chevalier Errant. Ichi Beau is from a yard that likes a tilt in the ring so is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Log On Intersky.
