Piccleyes, Dispol Peto and Grand Palace are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Grand Palace. The selection has dropped to a handy mark looks sure to have the race run to suit and from a good draw looks the one to be on. Piccleeyes rates the main danger on his best form despite topweight but he has yet to win over this trip and looks opposable on that basis. Dispol Peto has been done no favours by the draw. Rocky Reppin and Wodhill Be are other course and distance winner with place claims but, in a race where stakes should be kept to the minimum, for the winner we return to Grand Palace.
