A wide open seller here and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Mbel Riley, Earl Of Sexton and Kingscourt Lad and the tentative vote is given to Mbel Riley. The selection was a fair second behind Nuzzle last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Earl Of Sexton rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Templet in similar grade last time out, this stiffer track should suit and with his yard in form he should;d be noted in the market. Kingscourt Lad is another that ran well last time out on his latest second behind Moorlaw, that form has since been franked but the suspicion is he will be sen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Theflyingscottie would have a chance on his best form but disappointed for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence while Aleemdar is dropping in grade and is another to note in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Mbel Riley.
