A wide open contest here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be King's Bounty,Reivers Moon and Sound Of Cheers and the vote is given to King's Bounty. The selection remains on a handy mark despite his penalty for beating Opportunity Knocks last time and under similar conditions here he is taken to win again. Reivers Moon rates the main danger on his latest second behind Moor Spirit. He looks sure to have come on for the run and should be closely watched in the market. Sound Of Cheers is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but his best form is over a longer distance and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Welcome To Unos ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time and for the winner we return to King's Bounty.
