Another trappy affair rounds off the card but Habitual gets the confident vote to score with Cantrip and Vanilla Moon rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fifth in a better race behind Science Academy last time out and with this longer trip and easier grade sure to suit he is hard to oppose. Cantrip rates the main danger but he has been tried over a variety of trips without success so although he has place claims he can not be backed with any confidence to win. Vanilla Moon is another that could go well but he was behind the selection last time and there is no reason why he should gain his revenge on these terms. Galandora is another worthy of respect as he looks to be on a fair mark and with his young apprentice taking off a handy seven pounds he has definite place claims. Indian Chase won well last time out and is worth considering but this looks tougher and for the winner we return to Habitual.
