Trysting Grove gets the confident vote here with Granary Girl and Wee Charlie Castle rating the main dangers. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but he was a fair second behind Snake Skin last time out that form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Granary Girl rates the main danger on her latest second behind Little Richard she will not mind the drop in trip and will not be far away. Wee Charlie Castle is another that could go well on his latest second behind Donaldson but he often finds less than expected off the bridle. Susie May hails from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market while Megalala now looks in the handicappers grip and for the winner we return to Trysting Grove.
