Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with not much between many of the rivals but the principals look to be Rajam, Silver Prophet and Captain Rawlings and the vote goes to Rajam. The selection from the Richard Guest Yard was a fair third on his debut behind Paddy The Piper and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Silver Prophet rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Misty Dancer but that form has since been let down badly and for that reason is opposed. Captain Rawlings is also worthy of respect he is from a top yard that is in form and is probably capable of better. Sir Brastias was behind Silver Prophet on the flat but is another from a top yard and he is sure to have been schooled for this his hurdling debut. Of the remainder First boy is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Rajam.
