A tough race to call here for punters with many in with chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Arctic Lagoon, Tee-Jay, Daguyda and Carnacrack and the tentative vote is given to Arctic Lagoon. The selection won well last time out when beating Royal Artisan and although he has a penalty for that win he won in the style of an improve. and he is taken to defy the rise in the weights. Tee-Jay rates the main danger on his latest third behind Tina's Scallywag as he was doing all his best work at the finish and looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip. Daguyda is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Beat The Heat but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived and for that reason he is opposed. Carnacrack is another worthy of respect as he has dropped to a handy mark but although he is sure to run his race he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Master Jackson is another with place claims on his best form but he was very disappointing last time. However this longer trip should help. This is a trappy affair but something has to win and for the winner we return to Arctic Lagoon.
