A wide-open contest which is likely to be reflected in the betting. Burning Thread won quite easily at Sandown and is back in form. He has to go on the short-list along with Chester second New Fforest, representing the team that won Saturdays Ayr Gold Cup. Jack Luey and Commanche are others with decent claims and it would be no surprise to see old Tax Free pop up one more time off his current mark. Another Wise Kid and Noodles Blue Boy have the past form to figure and Rebecca Romero also enters the equation but RYLEE MOOCH has been running well this year without gaining due reward. Dropped a further pound since Friday's 11th at Ayr, he also has Joey Haynes claiming 5lb and that compensates for being a couple of pounds out of the handicap proper in this. He's a tough sort and should give punters a run for their money at decent odds.
