Verdict

A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the main protagonists look to be Itsdowntoben, Nycos des Ormeaux and Arctic Minster and the narrow vote is given to Itsdowntoben. The selection showed improved form to be second behind Mister Marmalade last time out and he need only run up to that form to win this the booking of Graham Lee looks a bonus and he will be hard to beat. Nycos des Ormeaux rates the main danger on his debut fourth behind Etched In Stone. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and should be noted in the market.Artic Minster is another worthy of respect ash he has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date and this looks his easiest assignment so he has definite place claims. Lindbergh Law is from a yard that has a good strike rate in these events and is sure to have learnt from his debut run so could go well at a price but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Itsdowntoben.
