Jivaty looks to have been found another good opportunity to continue on the upward curve with Araglin and Hunting Yuppie rating the main danger. The selection won well last time out when defeating Jonanaud who has since ran well again in defeat, and although he has a penalty for that win he won in the style of an improver and is taken to win again. Araglin rates the main danger on his best form but that has come on good to firm ground so for that reason he is opposed. Hunting Yuppie showed enough on his debut when sixth behind Distant Thunder to suggest he could win a race of this nature this looks much easier so he is a danger to all. Castlemoore was well behind the highly regarded Trabolgan last time but is another that has place claims. Of the remainder Pointalism is from a shrewd yard but may need more experience and a longer trip before he is seen to better advantage, so for the winner we return to Jivaty.
