Special Order, Norman Beckett and Just Observing are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Special Order. The selection was a fair second behind Categorical last time out, that form has since been franked and with more improvement likely he is hard to oppose. Norman Beckett rates the main danger as he was a fair fifth on his debut behind Impeccable Guest and is sure to improve but he looked very one paced on that occasion and may be seen to better effect over a longer trip in tim. Just Observing hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and should be nopted in the market.Soho Square was dissapointing on his debut so can not be put forward with any confidence while Deedayboots has shown a modicum of ability and could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers but for the winner we return to Special Order.
