Another wide open contest here and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Seeking The Buck Yes One and Gallego and the vote is given to Yes One. The selection was an unlucky in running fourth behind Rustic Gold last time out. That form has since been well advertised and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Seeking The Buck rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tebee he will relish this quick ground and with the race sure to be run to suit he will not be far away. Gallego ran as if returning to form when third behind Rudry World last time out and of a lenient mark could go well at a price. Nightspot is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Limbo King enters handicaps off a handy mark. Hails from a shrewd in-form yard and he should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder Snake Skin is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but his best form is over a shorter trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Yes One who looks a value bet.
