Turnstile gets the confident vote here with Smart Boy Prince and Rare Coincidence rating the main dangers. The selection was outclassed in a grade 1 race behind Nicanor last time out but prior to that he had held is own in better races than this, his yard are in better form now and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Smart Boy Prince rates the main danger on his best form but he has been very disappointing of late and under his welter burden he again looks vulnerable. Rare Coincidence is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has plenty to find with the principals on official bhb ratings and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Irish Wolf is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but Turnstile sets a fair standard and is hard to, oppose.
