Verdict
Another open contest rounds of proceedings with many in form rivals in opposition including Ramblees Holly, Onefourseven and Super Lucky and we will side with Ramblees Holly. The gelding won well over course and distance last time out when defeating Allstar Leader and although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat with Marcus Foley again taking the ride. Onefourseven rates the main danger he won a poor race in game fashion last time, out when beating Corries Wood but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has beaten so for that reason we will oppose him on this occasion. Super Lucky was second behind Warlinghamsharpish last time out and is sure to be suited by the step up in trip so he is another to consider in an open affair. Of the remainder York Rite won well in french blinkers last time and he is another that could go well if they have the same effect again but we are happy to stick with the more reliable Ramblees Holly.
