Moss Bawn, Hehasalife and Rolfes Delight are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Rolfes Delight. The selection was a fair third behind Southerndown last time out. However he will appreciate this shorter distance and as he goes well fresh he looks a value bet in an open affair under conditions that suit. Moss Bawn rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Sushan with a little in hand and although he is worse off at the weights with that rival here he looks progressive and will not be far away. Hehasalife won well last time out when beating Wee William but consistency is not his strong point so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Sunshan is another that isd sure to have his supporters but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Spanchil Hill was a fair second behind Terramarique last time and is another with place claims but in a tight affair for the winner we are happy to return to Rolfes Delight to small stakes.t
