A wide open handicap hurdle here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Thoutmosis,Speed Kris and Sikasso and the tentative vote is given to Speed Kris. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest third behind Commercial Flyer would make him hard to beat off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Thoutmosis rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Donovan this faster surface is sure to suit and he will not be far away. Sikasso is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Ever Present but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is overlooked on this occasion. Of the remainder End of An Error has dropped to a handy mark and should be noted in the market while a market move for the Irish raider No Time At All would also be interesting but for the winner we return to Speed Kris.
