A moderate looking seller that can be limited down to three main contenders namely Grand Praire, Borehill Joker and Fireside Legend with the vote going to the last named. Fireside Legend carries a penalty after his latest win in similar company at Plumpton last month. He was a shock winner that day but had shown form in better company prior to that and is taken to follow up again. Of his rivals Borehill Joker looks to be the main threat. Even though his last run at Market Rasen was a poor one if he is forgiven for that performance his form prior to that is good enough to go close here so is worth noting in the market. Grand Praire is another who has the ability but whether or not be produces it is another question so is one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Fireside Legend.
