Another open contest rounds off proceedings with many in with chances on their best form but the principals look to be My Retreat, Ehab and Kirkham Abbey and we will take a chance on My Retreat. The six year old from the Gary Moore yard was a fair fourth behind Buscador last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Ehab rates the main danger he has been disappointing on his last two runs on turf but now he is switched back to his favoured surface he could go well off what looks a fair mark. Kirkham Abbey is another that could go well she was a good third behind Mandarin Spirit last time and is another that saves her best form for this track. Of the remainder Ma Cherie is a well bred sort that could improve and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with My Retreat.
