Ryminster gets the confident vote here with Woodview and Barrons Pike rating the main dangers. The selection has been in fair form of late and was second behind Jballingall and off the same mark here under condfitions that suit he looks the one to be on. Woodview rates the main danger on his latest third behind Matmata de Tendron but consistency is not his strong point and at likely odds he is taken on. Barrons Pike could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder, The Miner is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and in a race where few can be ruled out, for the winner we return to Ryminster.
