Cameron Bridge, Rob The Five and Papillon de Iena are three against the field in another trappy affair and the vote is given to Rob The Five. The selection won well last time out when beating Fadad, that form has since been franked and under conditions that suit he is taken to defy the handicapper. Cameron Bridge rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Cobbet but this looks tougher and his penalty may just find him out. Papillon de Iena is another that could go well on his latest second behind Isotop but he has yet to win over a trip this far and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Flight Command has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Rob The Five who at least is in form.
