    Verdict

    Coole Glen gets the confident vote to win with Bill Haze and Let's Fly rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Silence Reings last time out, that form looks rock solid and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Bill Haze rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Remirez but he will need to improve again to win this. Let's Fly is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Hot Plunge has the ability to go close but he does not always ordain to use it and for the winner we return to Coole Glen.
