A tricky chase in which all are respected. Grey Life remains unexposed after posting a winning debut here on his chasing debut and is a threat to all on this follow-up mission whilst Cara Court is a standing dish around here and should run his race once again after a respectable runner-up effort last time behind Shadrack who runs earlier on the card. Pistol Basc has been searching for his best the last twice and might just be best watched for the time being but Sambelucky is expected to be there or thereabouts with this consistent sort having dropped to a feasible mark. The choice is course and distance winner, SENDIYM. He's not the most reliable as his latest Kelso effort shows but has a definite shout at his best and has posted two wins and a second on four starts here.
