Another small field goes to post for this race but it is hard to call none the less but the principals look to be Business Class, Garden Party ii and Silent Snipe and the confident vote goes to Business Class. The gelding from the Mary Reveley yard has been in fair form of late without winning but was a fair third behind Joint Authority last time, the step up to three miles will suit and with conditions in his favour he is taken to win. Garden Party II rates the main danger he was fourth behind Boy¿s Hurrah last time but is still a maiden after 39 runs. Slient Snipe would also be worthy of respect on his best from but he was pulled up last time. However that was on soft ground and he will be better suited by this faster surface. Of the remainder Solway Gale is on a handy mark but he has been beset by jumping problems of late so we will side with Business Class.
