Another Promise, Field Master and Wimbledonian are three against the field in a competitive opener and the vote is given to Another Promise. The selection was a fair fifth behind Go For Bust last time out and that form has since been franked so off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Field Master rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Alikat and he is sure to be suited by this faster surface and will not be far away. Wimbledonian is another worthy of respect as he is dropping in grade and is another that will appreciate this quicker ground. Golden Duck is dropped in grade and with his stable continuing in good form he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Lunar Lord ran as if returning to form when a fair third behind Caliban and is another with place claims, but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Another Promise.
