In depth

Verdict

Another tough race here for punters to solve with very little between the leading rivals but the principals look to be Island Stream Forbearing, Ressource and Knightsbridge King and the tentative vote goes to Island Stream. The selection won well last time out when defeating Kew Jumper with plenty in hand in a first time visor and although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat if in the same mood. Forbearing rates the main danger he was a fair fifth behind Diamond Orchid last time but his best form over hurdles has been on softer ground and for that reason he is opposed. Ressource is another that could go well he was a good second behind Port Moreno last time and that form has since been franked so he is a danger to all. Knightsbridge King is another that could go well but his best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Flaming Cheek is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Island Stream.
