A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists look to be Paradise Dancer, Scarlet Flyer and Dvinsky and the narrow vote is given to Scarlet Flyer. The selection was a fair third when last seen behind Pendulum Star he hails from a yard in top form and off what looks a fair mark he looks the value bet in an open affair. Paradise Dancer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Highland Harvest but his best form is over a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Dvinsky is another that could go well as he won in game fashion last time out when beating Mr Cellophane. However this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Count Ceprano goes well over course and distance but now looks weighted up to his best while Millfield is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with and for the winner we are happy to return to Scarlet Flyer who is taken to continue the good form of the Gary Moore team.
