A wide open seller here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Mr Whizz, Ark Admiral, Champetre and Xixita and the tentative vote goes to Mr Whizz. The selection won well a couple of runs ago when defeating Senza Scrupoli in this grade and then was a fair seventh behind Tiger Tips Lad in a better race that form looks solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Ark Admiral rates the main danger on his third behind In The Frame last season but he was very disappointing on his first run this season so can not be backed with any confidence. Champetre is another worthy of respect he finished in mid-division behind Mike Simmons in a handicap last time and is dropping in grade so he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Xixita is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Mr Whizz.
