Market Watcher absolutely hosed up over course and distance eleven days ago and is taken to follow up with another win in what looks a poor contest. Ice And Fire could prove to be the competition along with Romil Star and the relatively unexposed Newport Boy. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out, and the Irish raider could easily run up a quick sequence of victories. Ice And Fire has course and distance form, albeit in banded contests, whilst Romil Star has a fine all-weather record albeit over shorter distances, and so could struggle over this trip. Of more interest could be Newport Boy who steps up to this trip for the first time, although on breeding he is not guaranteed to get it. The most solid option is Market Watcher and so he gets the confident vote.
