A tough race to call here for punters with many in with chances on there best form but the principals look to be Ice Planet,Fantasy Believer and Fullandby and the vote is given to Ice Planet. The selection was a good second behind Wyatt Eyrp last time out, that form looks rock solid and off the same mark and from a good draw he looks a value bet. Fantasy Believer won well at Goodwood when beating Idle Power but he had a hard race and he may find this coming to quick so hew looks worth taking on. Fullandby is another that could go well as he won in game fashion last time when beating Circuit Dancer but he was all out on that occasion and his penalty may just find him out. Knot In Wood was behind the selection last time and on the same terms here there is no reason why the result should be any different. Rising Shadow is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is better with more cut in the ground while Johnston's Diamond has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to Ice Planet.
