A wide open contest rounds off the card and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be El Bandidos, Ricardo's Chance and Tommy Spar and the vote is given to El Bandidos. The selection won well last time out when beating The Right People. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he again has conditions to suit and with improvement likely he is taken to win again. Ricardo's Chance rates the main danger as he is progressing with each run and he beat Check Up in good style last time out. However this is his toughest assignment to date and he will need to improve again to win off this higher mark. Tommy Spar is another that could go well on his best form but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time and he is taken on with this in mind. Nostringsattached looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price if first time cheekpieces bring about some improvement. Of the remainder Galtee View is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to El Bandidos.
