A wide open contest here with many in with chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Kadam, Borehill Joker and Alva Glen and the narrow vote is given to Kadam. The selection has proved a revelation since being fitted with a visor and won well last time out when beating Master D'or. Granted he is rising in the weights for that win but he still looks ahead of the handicapper and he is taken to win again.Borehill Joker rates the main danger on his latest second behind Heartache but he looks weighted up to his best and for that reason he is opposed. Alva Glen is another that could go well as he was a fair fourth in a better race behind Phar Out Favourite. He remains on a good mark and should be noted in the market. Boing Boing is another with place claims on his best form but is far from consistent so can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder My Bold Boyo is another from a yard in form with place claims on his latest third behind Heartache but he still has a little to find with the selection Kadam on that run and Kadam is taken to win this off a career high mark.
