A wide open affair in which many have chances but a chance is taken on Only Words who was a good second at Hexham last time out behind Latensaani when he was clear of the third he should go well under his optimum conditions. Malakal is from a very shrewd yard and although he has been out of form of late a market move would be significant. Royal Wanderer won in game fashion last time out at Cartmel but that was with cut in the ground and he may find conditions to lively here. Roman Candle should also go well he was a fine second behind Dance In Tune last time and a reproduction of that effort will see him go close. Divulge could also go well if his jumping holds up. Otahuna is also in form goes well on the ground and could go well at a fair price off a low mark. Admiral Peary could also be a danger on his bumper form but he has failed to produce those efforts over hurdles. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to score.
