Middleway, Maunsell's Road, Ragu and Help Yourself look the ones to concentrate on in this wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Maunsell¿s Road. The gelding from the Len Lungo yard was a fair sixth behind D¿ vu last time, he is sure to be suited by the step up to three miles and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Middleway rates the main danger but he was all out when defeating Bolton Barrie over course and distance last time and he may struggle under his penalty. Ragu is another that would have a chance on her best form but although she travels well in her races she finds little off the bridle so is passed over on this occasion. Help Yourself is another from the Len Lungo yard but he looks the second string on jockey bookings so we will side with Maunsell¿s Road
