A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Oscatello, Bright Spirit, Cantgeton and I'm Innocent and the tentative vote is given to Oscatello. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Oscar Park. He is sure to have come on for that run and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Bright Spirit rates the main danger as he hails from a yard that does well in this sphere and was a good third behind Sworn In last time and is another that is sure to improve. Cantgeton is another that could go well but he has not progressed as expected. Of the remainder Lord Kernow is a well bred sot and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Oscatello.
