A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Tarkesar, Corso Palladio and Insignia and the tentative nomination is given to Tarkesar. The selection won a ladies race in game fashion last time out when beating Compton Eagle and with the step up in trip looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Corso Palladio rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Scutch Mill but he found little off the bridle on that occasion and is taken on with this in mind. Insignia was second behind Kings Euro last time and is another with place claims but that form has since been let down and he looks opposable on that basis. Marigolds Way was a staying on second behind Mistified last time out but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Of the remainder This Way That Way is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Tarkesar.
