Lenwade,Regency Red and Ben Kenobi look the three to concentrate on in this contest and the confident vote is given to Lenwade. The selection has been in good form of late and was a good second behind Treetops Hotel last time out and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat in watt looks an easier affair. Regency Red rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing last time out and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Ben Kenobi is another worthy of respect but his best efforts of late have been over a longer trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Danish Monarch was behind the selection last time and although he is better off at the weights he still has a little to find and for the winner we return to Lenwade who is in form and has everything in his favour.
