Scalini's, Rio San Vio and Adam's Belle are three against the field in this bumper with the confident vote going to Rio San Vio. The selection won well on his debut despite running green when defeating Lady Of Scarvagh. He has a penalty for that win but he is sure to have come on for the run and under similar conditions he is taken to win again. Adam's Belle rates the main danger he was a good second on his debut behind Breaking Ball and is another that is sure to have come on for the run. Scalini's is a well bred sort from a top yard by Peintre Celebre but he is bred to do better over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Notanotherdonkey showed a modicum of ability last season and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Rio San Vio.
