A tough race to call here for punters with many in with chances on their best form but the principals look to be Danger Zone, Windermere Island and Call Me Max and the narrow vote is given to Danger Zone. The selection was a good second off this mark last time out behind Special Lad, that form has since been franked and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Windermere Island won well last time out when beating Doitforreel but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive and he may be vulnerable off this revised mark. Call Me Max won well last time out when beating Plectrum, that form has also been franked but he is another that looks weighted to the hilt. World Series was a fair fourth behind Aberdovey last time and is another with place claims but he is better over a longer trip. Guadiaro is from a yard in top form and has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Silver Visage has conditions to suit and is another that could go well but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minim,um for the winner we return to Danger Zone.
