A wide open handicap rounds off the card with many in-form rivals in opposition including Mount Royal, Givemethemoonlight and Yorker and we will side with Mount Royal. The selection has been in good form of late and won with a shade in hand when defeating Pawn In Life last time, and although he has risen in the weights, will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Givemethemoonlight rates the main danger as he was a good second behind Desert Heat and will not be far away off what looks a fair mark. Yorker is also worthy of respect but he has a nasty habit of running well without winning so for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder, Noble Locks is on a fair mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Mount Royal.
