    Verdict

    A field large in numbers but low in quality and the principals look to be Reap, Welsh Wind and Kirkby's Treasure and we will take a chance on Reap. The five year old has been in good form of late and a reproduction of his latest win over Ruby Ledgend would make him hard to beat. Welsh Wind rates the main danger he was behind Reap last time out. However he is better off at the weights here but Reap won with plenty in hand and he is taken to confirm the placings. Kirkby's Treasure is also worthy of respect on his best form but he disappointed last time out. Of the remainder Hormuz is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the bang in form Reap.
