This is the feature event on the card and all fourteen can be given some sort of chance, however three that stand out are Rejuvenate, J R Stevenson and Dower House, with the former just getting the vote. Amanda Perrett trains this lightly raced three-year-old, who put up a tremendous performance when finishing a close up third in a competitive Newbury handicap back in October. Having run well on his debut here there is no concern with the surface and this progressive type will be difficult to beat. Dower House had J R Stevenson two and a half lengths back in third when successful here a fortnight ago, the latter is five pounds better off today and should reverse the form . In what is a very open affair Gig Harbour and Star Of Normandie come here in tremendous form and are worth checking out, but Rejuvenate looks to have a lot more scope for improvement than his rivals and is taken to prevail.
