A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Mags Two, Alpha Juliet and Place Above with the narrow vote given to Place Above who is better known as a chaser but he goes well fresh and returns to hurdling on a lenient and he looks the value bet in an open affair. Mags Two rates the main danger as she is another last time out winner with place claims but she has yet to prove she stays this far and for that reason is opposed Pinnacle Ridge showed promise in the early part of last season but his form tailed off towards the end of the season and if he returns refreshed he will not be far away... Of the remainder Alpha Juliet is from a yard in form and could go well at a price with the step up in trip sure to suit but for the winner we return to Place Above.
