Tisseman, Pyleigh Lady and Patavium are three against the field in this wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Tisseman. The selection won well last time out when beating Ashwell Lad. That form has since been franked and off what remains a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Pyleigh Lady rates the main danger on her latest second behind What A Scientist but she looks to have plenty of weight for what she has actually achiEved and is taken on with this in mind. Patavium is another that could go well as he beat Carrietau last time but this looks tougher and he will need to improve to score. Of the remainder, Brave Joe is improving with each run and could go well at a price while Templer has conditions to suit but looks weighted up to his best. Tisseman is in good heart at present and should prove tough to beat.
