Willie The Fish displayed his true ability last time and can gain his second chase success here, Celtic Flow and Matmata de Tendron look to be the main rivals. Sue Smith's charge would probably have won last time but for a bad blunder three out. He rallied well in the closing stages and if he puts in the same effort today he should hard to beat. Celtic Flow easily got the better of Matmata de Tendron at Wetherby last time on only his second outing of the season, there could be plenty more to come. The runner up though was having his first run of the campaign and may get a lot closer this time. Amber Light is not out of it on the pick of last season's form and looks the pick of the others, but if Willie The Fish can make an error free round he should take first prize.
