Abstinence gets the confident vote in the bumper with Northern Blaze and My Bobby rating the main dangers. The selection won well on his only start to date when beating Nodforms Paula and although he has a penalty he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Northern Blaze rates the main danger on his debut sixth behind Mums Chatterbox. He is sure to improve and should be watched in the market. My Bobby is another worthy of respect as he hails from a yard that has a good record in these events and this Supreme Sound gelding out of a moderate race mare should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Alfloramoor has hinted at ability in the past but his overall form leaves him with plenty to find and with this in mind for the winner we return to Abstinence who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
