Navado, Le Royal, Hot Produxion and Lough Dante look the main protagonists in another wide-open affair and the vote goes to the last named. The gelding from the Henry Daley yard was a good second on his debut behind Very Optimistic over course and distance last time when Le Royal was third. He is sure to have come on for the run and with conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Navado hails from the same yard as Very Optimistic and the market will tell the story as to what is expected from this well bred gelding. Hot Produxion is also worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Rodolfo over this trip a couple of runs ago and then ran as if not staying two miles six furlongs at this track last time. He has definite place claims now he is back at his favoured trip. Brave Lord is another that could go well but his best form is on faster ground so we are happy to stick with the promising Lough Dante.
