A small but competitive field goes to post for the first on the card and the principals look to be Penny Cross, Arzoo and Bravo Dancer and we will take a chance on Arzoo. The three year old from the bang in form Luca Cumani yard won well last time out when defeating Fiveoclock Express. He is a course winner and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Penny Cross rates the main danger she has improved with each run and is proven on the ground but she may struggle to give a pound and beating to Arzoo. Bravo Dancer is also worthy of respect but his best form is with much more cut in the ground so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Swift Tango won well when defeating Wiseguy last time out but this looks tougher and we are happy to stick with the bang in form Arzoo.
