Verdict

Amicelli, Englishtown and Goblet of Fire are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Englishtown. The selection won well last time out when beating Rajayoga, that form has since been franked and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Amicelli rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Romany Prince he is a progressive sort and should be noted in the market. Goblet Of Fire is another that could go well on her best form but she will find this harder under another penalty for her last win and for that reason is opposed. Penny Pictures has conditions to suit and could run well at a price but she likes to force the pace and she may be taken on for the lead and she looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Boulevardofdreams and Football Crazy look well weighted on their best form and have definite place claims but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Englishtown.
