Magic Mamma's Too, Nuzzle and Hellbent look the ones to concentrate on in this desperate affair and we will take a chance on Hellbent. The four year old from the Jamie Osborne yard showed enough last season when third behind New Diamond to suggest a race of this nature would be well within his compass, and if he is fit after a 419 day absence he will be hard to beat. Magic Mamma's Too rates the main danger on his latest second behind Najaaba but he has had plenty of chances and is still a maiden so for that reason he is opposed. Nuzzle is also worthy of respect after a fair third behind Velarian but the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Of the remainder Chesnut Ripple is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Hellbent.
