Hello Roberto,Ardkeel Las and Forzenuff are three against the field in this trappy opener and the narrow vote is given to Hello Roberto. The selection is very well handicapped on his best form has gone well at the track in the past and in the hope that a first time visor brings about some improvement he is taken to score. Ardkeel Lass rates the main danger on her best form but she was very disappointing for no apparent reason last time out and for that reason she is opposed. Forzenuff is another that could go well as he hails from a yard in top form and should be noted in the market. However he is hard to win with and as he has been done no favours by the draw he looks worth taking on.Levelled is another that has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price especially as this game front runner could get an easy lead. Of the remainder Avit is another that looks well in on his best form and could go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Hello Roberto.
