Reflex Courier, Joe di Capo,and On The Luce look the main protagonists in this wide open affair and the vote goes to Joe di Capo. The gelding from the Andy Crook yard was a good second at the course behind Inching Closer a couple of runs ago. He remains on a fair mark and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Reflex Courier was a lucky winner last time out when defeating Pounsley Mill at Stratford. However he has a penalty to overcome here and for that reason he is opposed. On the Luce is also worthy of respect he was a fair fourth behind Glenfarclas Boy last time and is sure to be suited by the step up in trip so he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Galen is on a handy mark and is from a yard in form so is worth noting in the market but in an open affair we will side with Joe Di Capo.
