A wide open contest rounds off proceedings. Hammadeenah, The Fairy Flag, Flemenca and Help Yourself all have sound claims but a chance is taken on Able Native. The gelding from there Richard Guest yard was a fair third in a better race behind Bell Lane Lad last time out and despite top weight he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Hamadeenah is another suited by the conditions but he gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip when fifth behind Cita Verda last time, however this is a much easier race. The fairy Flag is thrown in on her best form but she has failed to complete the course on her last two starts and her best efforts have come on much softer ground. Flamenca was a fair fourth behind Bushido last time out and if Thoutmosis wins the first race on the card Flemenca could be a good each way bet in this contest. Help Yourself was well backed last time out but was very disappointing. However he is worth a cautionary look in the market with his stable in top form now.
