A wide open bumper here with very little public form to go on and as usual the market will be all important but the principals look to be Rebel Rhythm, Wild Cane Ridge and Aces Four and the nomination goes to Wild Cain Ridge. The selection was very impressive on his debut at Carlisle when defeating Golden Oak on soft ground and if he is as effective on this slightly faster ground he will be hard to beat despite his penalty. Rebel Rhythm rates the main danger he won well on his debut then improved on that form when third behind Diamond Sal under his penalty. Aces Four has been second on his two runs to date in this sphere but has already given the impression he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and again he will probably fin one or two to good again. Of the remainder Sunley Future has a big reputation but has failed to deliver so far, while a market move for Seeking Shelter who¿s stable have a good record in these events should be noted but for the winner we return to Wild Cane Ridge
