A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Aboustar, Jalouhar, Doctor Dennis and Radlett Lady and the vote is given to Jalouhar. The selection was a good second last time in a similar race and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat under his optimum conditions. Aboustar landed a gamble in good style last time out and he is sure to be popular again but he has a penalty for that win and this race looks more competitive and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Doctor Dennis is another worthy of respect on his best form and he was a good second in a similar race last time out but he is becoming hard to win with and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Radlett Lady is from a shrewd in form yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Jalouhar.
