A large field goes to post for this competitive nursery with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Kerrys Blade, Bongoali, Terminate and Rebel Rebel and the vote goes to Kerrys Blade. The selection showed improved form when stepped up to this trip when second behind Succession last time. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Bongoali rates the main danger he was staying on well when not getting the clearest of runs last time behind Client and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close with his young apprentice taking of a handy seven pounds. Terminate needs to find a little to trouble the principals but he is from a very shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. Rebel Rebel is another that could go well he will appreciate the return to this longer trip and should go well from his good draw. Of the remainder Tit For Tat and Tomobel are from yards in form and remain at the right end of the weights so are worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Kerrys Blade.
