Another wide-open contest rounds off the card and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Penny From Heaven, Featherlight and Personal Column and the narrow vote is given to Featherlight. The selection was a good second behind Ainama last time out. That form looks rock solid and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Penny From Heaven rates the main danger on her latest second behind Beau Sancy; she looks sure to improve for this longer trip and will not be far away. Personal Column won well last time out when beating Western Point, but he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Of the remainder Hot Diamond is unexposed and could improve for this longer trip so should be watched in the market, but Featherlight looks sure to run his race and he gets our vote.
