A wide open bumper here and as usual the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Lie Forrit, Weather Front and Moon Phase and the vote is given to Lie Forrit. The selection won well on his debut when defeating Heart O' The West and although having a penalty he looks sure to improve for the longer trip and he looks the one to be on. Weather Front rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Moon Phase also ran with promise on his debut he he barley saw out the trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Lord Raspberry hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and is another to note in the market but Lie Forrit is taken to put his experience to good use.
