A competitive contest gets proceedings underway however, the principals look to be Adalpour, Royal Maid and Peterson's Cay and the confident vote goes to Adalpour. The gelding from the Dai Burhell yard was a good second behind Court Of Justice last time out over hurdles he is fit from the flat and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Royal Maid rates the main danger he was a fair third behind River Bann last time and he has definite place claims. Peterson's Cay is also worthy of respect he has traveled a long way to take his chance and is worth noting in the market. Christmas Truce was third behind Big Moment last time and if the first time cheek pieces work he is another that will not be far away. A tough race to call for punters but for the winner we return to Adalpour.
