A small field goes to post for this claimer and the principals look to be Johnny Ebeneezer, Willhewiz and Long Tall Sally and we will take a chance on the last named. The filly from the David Arbuthnot yard was a fair fifth behind Star Of Arabia in a better race last time out and off what looks a fair mark she should go well with conditions in her favour. Willhewiz rates the main danger he won a class D handicap a couple of runs ago and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close despite top weight. Johnny Ebeneezer is also worthy of respect he was a fair second in this grade behind Lord Of The East last time a if he can reproduce that effort here he will not be far away. Of the remainder Zarzu is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Long Tall Sally.
