Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Wodhill Be, Eddies Jewel and Mr Uppity and the vote is given to Wodhill Be. The selection won in the style of an improver when beating Caerphilly Gal last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper. He also has a good draw here so should be hard to beat. Eddies Jewel rates the main danger on his latest third behind Doctor Dennis but that form has since been let down and having looked as if he would be suited by further in the past he is passed over on this occasion. Mr Uppity is another worthy of respect on his best form and he lost all chance last time out when slowly away. If he gets out on terms with his rivals here he has definite place claims. Of the remainder, Nebraska City has the ability to go close but does not always ordain to use it so can not be put forward with any confidence and in a race that contains plenty of dead wood for the winner we return to Wodhill Be.
