A wide open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Kalasam,Gaelic Princess and Dushstorm and the narrow vote is given to Kalasam. The selection was a fair third behind Candy Mountain last time out. That form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Gaelic Princess rates the main danger on her latest second behind Trivia but she is becoming hard to win with. Dushstorm is another that could go, well. The booking of Seb Sanders catches the eye and he should be watched in the market. Le Chiffre and Kildare Sun look weighted up to their best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Kalasam.
