Bongoali,Tanning and Kastana are three against the field in another wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Bongoali. The selection was a fair fourth in a better race behind Jackie Kiely last time out and she need only run up to that mark to win this.Tanning rates the main danger on his latest second behind Sea Map but he is becoming expensive to follow and again at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Kastana showed improved form to be third behind Sea Map last time out. He is one of the least exposed in the field so at least he is open to a little improvement. Ingleby Cross is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but his over all form leaves him with a little to find and in a race where the market could be very informative for the winner we return to Bongoali who has at least ran two fair races back to back.
