Beauchamp Trump, Sir Monty and Reggae Rhythm are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Beauchamp Trump. The selection won well last time out when beating Sir Monty and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection won a shade cozily and he is taken to win again. Sir Monty is sure to have his supporters but his best form is with more cut in ground and for that reason he is opposed. Reggae Rhythm is another worthy of respect as he won well last time out when beating Toni Alcala but he will finds this harder under his penalty. Of the remainder Madiba looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Beauchamp Trump.
