SAY GRACE is taken to win again at the expense of Prince Rodney and Tuesday Club. The selection has won three times this season gaining his only defeat on his second outing when looking unlucky. He looks like a horse that is improving with age and experience and we feel there is still plenty more to come. Prince Rodney landed his hat-trick less than two weeks ago. He has his debut run under rules sporting a pair of cheek pieces. He is another horse that possesses plenty of promise and therefore warrants respect. Tuesday Club was beaten into second place in what looked like a strong open contest last time out, and although his form under rules when trained by Jim Old looks poor he has place claims now that he has dropped to this class of race. This looks like another competitive and tricky race to call but Say Grace ticks more boxes than most of his rivals and is taken to get his head in front once again.
