A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap with many in form rivals in opposition including Pennyghael, Rifleman and Arzoo and we willtake a chance on Pennygheal. The filly from the Mick Channon yard has held her form well all season and a reproduction of her latest fifth behind Hoh Buzzard would make her hard to beat. Rifleman rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Camelot last time and with conditions again in his favour he will not be far away.Arzoo is another that could go well but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when fourth behind Ayun last time. Of the remainder Prince Of Gold is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Pennyghael.
