Castlemore , Glacial Evening and French Executive look the principals in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Glacuial Evening. The selection won a point in good style last time out when beating Briar's Mist that form looks rock solid and with this longer trip likely to bring about more improvement he looks the one to be on. Castlemore rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Granett, he is another that will appreciate this longer trip. However he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Frech Executive is another that could go well on his latest second behind Swift Wood but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Lucky Leader is game and consistent and is sure to run his but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Glacial Evening .
