Boxhall, Bulwark and Tiamo are three against the field in this wide open handicap and the narrow vote is given to Tiamo. The selection was a fair third behind Bronwen last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Boxhall rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Smart John but hew has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Bulwark is another that could go well on his latest third behind Baddham but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Blazing Bailey is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market while Balletomaine is another last time out winner that has place claims but for the winner we return to Tiamo whose form looks rock solid in the context of this race.
