Plenty Courage,Martin House and Arjay are three against the field in a wide-open affair and the terminative vote is given to Plenty Courage. The selection was a fair fifth in a better race behind Goodbadindifferent last time. The drop in grade looks sure to suit and he need only run up to that mark to score. Martin House rates there main danger on his best form but he is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Arjay is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Ballyboe Boy but he is hard to win with and for that reason he is over looked. Seemore Sunshine is another disappointing in garde and hails from a shrewd yard so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Dan de Lion has dropped to a handy mark and is another that could go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Plenty Courage.
