Ace Club gets the confident vote here with Radlett Lady and Fitzwarren rating the main dangers. The selection won in good style a couple of runs ago before disappointing last time out. However that could be put dawn to the draw. She remains on a fair mark and looks the value bet in an open affair. Radlett Lady rates the main danger on her best form but she has ran as if in the handicappers grip of late and at likely odds she looks worth taking on. Fitzwarren is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Colleseum but he has yet to win over this trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Polar Haze is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Ace Club who at least is in form.
