Brook No Argument, Chinara and Big Bertha look the three to concentrate on in the opener and the vote is given to Brook No Argument. The selection won well at Huntingdon last time when she beat Eila. She was doing her best work at the finish that day so the step-up in trip should suit and with the very capable Harry Skelton doing the steering she looks the one they all have to beat. Chinara looks to be going the right way and she put in another solid effort last time out. She goes well for her lady pilot and she likes cut in the ground so she should put in a bold show. Big Bertha disappointed last time when she could only plug-on at the one pace and the stable are hardly firing on all cylinders at present so she is probably worth taking on. Upright Uma has the talented Kevin Tobin on board so she could go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Brook No Argument.
