Shamsan, Red Canyon and Moving Earth look the ones to concentrate on in this tight handicap and we will side with Shamsan. The six year old from the Philip Hobbs yard was a good second behind Blue Streak last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Red Canyon rates the main danger he is on a fair mark and will not mind the ground. Moving Earth could also go well but he does not always jump off so is a risky proposition. Of the remainder Prince Dimitri would be hard to beat on his best juvenile form but he has shown noting so far this season so we will side with the more reliable Shamsan.
