Torkinking, Rojabaa and Bogus Dreams are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Torkinking. The selection was a fair fifth behind Nicks Choice last time out that form has since been franked and off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet in an open affair. Rojabaa rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Caraman but this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Bogus Dreams appeared not to stay last time out and with the drop in trip in his favour and his yard back amongst the winners he should be noted in the market. Fait Le JO Jo has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is best when given an easy lead and as that does not look likely he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Brave Vision looks to be on a lenient mark and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Torkinking.
