A wide open contest rounds off the card and many can be given some sort of chance but the main protagonists look to be Stamford Blue, Diamond Josh, Cree and Arian's Lad and the narrow vote is given to Stamford Blue. The selection won well last time out when beating Millfields Dream and with his useful apprentice taking off a handy seven pounds he is taken to defy the handicapper from a good draw. Diamond Josh rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed behind Further Outlook last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Cree has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but consistency is not his strong point. Arian Lad was a fair second behind Vibe last time and is another with place claims and although he has won over this distance his best form is over the minimum trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Stamford Blue.
