Orswell Crest, Commanche Hero and Drom Wood look the ones to concentrate on in another wide open affair and we will side with the bang in form Commanche Hero. The ten year old won well last time out when defeating Cassia Heights and that form has since been franked he won with a shade more in hand than the winning margin suggests and he is taken to go in again with conditions again in his favour. Orswell Crest who usually goes well fresh was slightly disappointing in his debut this season when well behind Be My Manager he may have come on for the run but he may also be in the handicappers grip as he had such a good season last year so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Drom Wood won well last time out when defeating Wellie however he will find this tougher against some seasoned campaigners but he is at the right end of the handicap. Of the remainder Joe Di Capo has dropped to a handy mark and will love the conditions but we are happy to stick with the old stager Commanche Hero.
