Long Weekend is the one we like here and he is taken to score at the main expense of Ziet d¿Alsace and Iced Diamond. The selection was a close-up fourth behind Roman Maze at Wolverhampton last time in an amateur riders¿ race. That was a decent effort and as he had also won well on his previous start over 6f here he looks to have outstanding claims. Ziet d¿Alsace rates the main danger although he was very disappointing last time when he never got in the race at Wolverhampton finishing well down the field behind Stella Marais. On the pick of his form he would go close but he¿s never won here before so we are happy to take him on. Iced Diamond was also disappointing last time but he had run well when a fast finishing third here behind Legal Set over 6f here previously. The extra furlong here will be in his favour and he looks capable of making the frame. Kinsman is in good form and is the other in with a solid chance here, but we will stick with Long Weekend as our idea of the winner.
