Verdict

A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Black Sea Pearl, Astronomical Odds and Granakey and the narrow vote is given to Black Sea Pearl. The selection was a fair second behind Cerebus last time out when slightly unlucky in runing, this looks easier and off the same mark she looks a value bet in an open affair. Astronomical Odds rates the main danger as he has dropped to a handy mark hails from a shrewd in-form yard and he should be watched closely in tha martket. Granakey is another that could go well but all his best for m is over a shorter trip. Of the remainder Tyrone Sam has the ability to go close if he ordains to use it but he has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we are happy to return to the in-dorm Black Sea Pearl.
