Secret Pact, Napalm and Rudaki are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Napalm. The selection was a fair second behind Mischief Man last time out, is sure to have learnt from the experiance and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat. Secret Pact rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Water Taxi but he may just need the runafter a 231 day break. Rudaki is another that could go well on his latest second behind Mister Jungle especially as the drop in distance looks sure to suit. Of the remainder Colliers Court was a fair sort over fences when last seen and if fit after a 645 day abscence would be a danger to all on his return tohurdles but that is a big if. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informitive but for the winner we retuirn to Napalm to samll stakes.
