A wide oprn bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these evnts the market will be all important but the principals look to be Tomillielou, Bleu Pois and Chrysaor and the narrow vote is given to Tomilielou. The selection hails from a yard that can do no wrong at present has over a 50 percent record in these evnts and with improvement likely from his debut run he will be hard to beat. Bleu Pois rates the main danger on his latest third behind Amestecos but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Chrysoar is another that could go well as he is sure to improve on his debut running but he looked very one paced on that occasion and is passed over with this in mind. Of the remainder Northern Vic and Nortonthorpe Lad both showed promise on there debuts and are others that are sure to improve but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Tomillielou to small stakes.
