Secret Tender, Noble Edge and Cool Isle are three against the field in this wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Secret Tender. TRhe selection was a fair fifth behind Countrywide belle last time out. That form has since been franked and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Noble Edge rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Song Huntress but he will do well to win from his wide berth. Cool Isle is another that could go well but he was behind the selection last time and there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. Tour d'Amour is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Secret Tender.
