Zeloso, Scarface and Oulton Broad are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Zeloso. The selection was a good second behind Silverio in a better race last time out. The drop to this grade should suit and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Scarface is another that could go well but he was behind the selection last time and on the same terms here there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. Oulton Broad is another dropping in grade but he is becoming hard to win with. The Pecker Dunn could improve for the fitting of first time cheek pieces but he is far from consistent and in a race where not many are in form for the winner we return to Zeloso.
