A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Blackmail, Bob's Your Uncle and Super Sensation and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection has been in the form of his life of late over hurdles, returns to the flat off a handy mark and with the race looking sure to be run to suit he looks a value bet. Blackmail rates the main danger as he won well last time out. However, this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Bob's Your Uncle is another that could go well on his latest second behind Blackmail. He is weighted to gain revenge on that rival but he is hard to win with. Icannshif is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead he looks opposable. Iftikhar could go well at a price if fit after a 521 day break but for the winner we return to Super Sensation.
