Verdict
A poor contest gets proceedings underway but something has to win and there principals look to be Reem Two, Separated and Moscow Executive and the tentative vote is given to Reem Two. The selection has been in fair form of late and was a good third behind Supply And Fix. The step up in trip looks sure to suit and in a poor affair she is taken to score. Separated rates the main danger on her best form but she has not progressed as expected over hurdles and continues to be beset by jumping problems and at likely odds she looks worth opposing. Moscow Executive is another worthy of respect as she is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is very one paced and she is passed over for that reason. Langdon Lane was a fair third in similar grade behind Gaelic roulette last time and is sure to have learnt from the experience while Fields of Home is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Reem Two who will relish this longer trip.
