A large field here for this claimer and many have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Slavonic Lake, Colditz and Suhayl Star and the narrow vote is given to Slavonic Lake. The selection won well last time when beating Dispol Splendid. Granted that was only a seller but he looks on a fair mark and from a good draw he looks the value bet in an open affair. Colditz rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Only A Grand but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the unexposed selection. Suhayl Star is another that could go well as he is dropping in grade and with his yard in form he should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder Burlington Fayr is another unexposed type that could improve but he has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we return to Slavonic Lake who looks sure to improve.
