A wide open event for which a case can be made for many of these. Those that make the short list include College Ace, Randolf O'Brien, Ya I Know and Moustique De L'Isle and we will side with the unexposed Ya I Know. A winning Irish point-to-pointer, Ya I Know displayed his first glimpse of ability since been recruited when staying on well over 2m 4f last time at Towcester and the easy 3m should play to his strengths. College Ace represents Renee Robson and although lumping top-weight here would have to come into calculations on the basis of two encouraging efforts. Randolf O'Brien had a busy spell at the turn of the year but since then has been quite. On the pick of his form he would be a contender as would course winner Moustique De L'Isle who looks attractively weighted but whose best form is with plenty of cut. Heart Springs is one at a price that could run into a place but the unexposed Ya I Know is given the vote.
