Arcalis gets the confident vote to make a winning debut over hurdles with Terlan and Ambition Royal rating the main dangers. The selection was a classy sort on the flat will go on the ground and need only jump around to score before going on to much better things. Terlan rates the main danger he defeated Ambition Royal on his debut in good style. However that rival is better off at the weights here so he should gain his revenge but it was Terlan's first attempt at hurdles where as Ambition Royal had had plenty of experience so their should be little between them. Wing Commander would have a chance on his best form but has since disappointed so can not be put forward with any confidence. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Arcalis.
