A wide open handicap here and many can be give a chance but the principals look to be Kyle of Lochalsh, River Logic and Nakwa and the vote is given to Nakwa. The selection was a fair second behind Day Off last time out, remains on a fair mark and in an open race from a good draw he looks the value bet. River Logic rates the main danger on his latest second behind The Pen but he has yet to prove he stays this far and looks opposable on that basis. Kyle Of Lochalsh is another that could go well but he has been done no favours by the draw. Millennium Hall disappointed last time but loves it here and if the rains arrived he could go well at a price. Of the remainder Montara has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with and in a race that throws up more questions than answers and where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Nakwa to Minimum stakes.
