A very competitive handicap hurdle here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Chivite, Cancun Caribe, Persian King and Tango Royal and the vote goes to Cancun Caribe. The selection defeated Lanos in facile fashion last time out and although he is rising in the weights he won in the style of an improver and is taken to win again. Chivite rates the main danger on his best form but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip when fifth behind The Dark Lord last time and for that reason he is opposed. Persian King is another that could go well as he won well a couple of runs ago when defeating Burning Truth but he has since taken a heavy fall and it is hard to know if his confidence will have been effected. Tango Royal won well last time out when defeating New Bird and again he has conditions to suit but he will find it harder under his penalty. Of the remainder Wun Chai won well last time when defeating Fast Mix and he remains at the right end of the handicap so has definite place claims, but for the winner we return to Cancun Caribe.
