A wide open seller gets proceedings underway and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Island of Memories, Relative Hero and Samson des Galas and the tentative vote is given to Island Of Memories. The selection was a fair second behind Najca De Thaix last time out, this looks easier and off the same mark and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Relative Hero rates the main danger on his latest third behind Balmoral Queen but he is a weak finisher and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Samson des Galas is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Real Chief. Of the remainder Coxwell Cossack is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with while Power And Demand looks a short runner and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Island Of Memories.
