Master of The Race, Jack of Trumps and Dower House are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Master Of The Race. The selection was well beaten behind Goodbye Mr Bond last time out, but this represents a drop in class and off what remains a fair mark he looks a value bet. Jack Of Trumps rates the main danger on his latest second at Chester but he was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion so the drop in trip has to be of concern. Dower House is another that could go well on his latest behind Chocolate Caramel, he remains on a fair mark and should be noted in the market. Acrobatic won well last time out when beating Celtic Spirit and is another with place claims but this looks tougher and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder Obrigado is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we are happy to return to Master Of The Race.
