Kryena, Sforzando and Cantarna are three against the field in a trappy affair and the tentative vote is given to Kryena. The selection was a fair third behind Obezyana last time out and with the step up in trip sure to suit he looks the one to be on. Sforzando rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Montjeu Baby but all his best form is on a soft surface and he has yet to prove he goes on the all-weather and for that reason he is opposed. Cantarna is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Africa Sahara. That form has since been franked but he is beginning to look tripless and he is opposed for that reason. Kindlelight Debut is well handicapped on the all-weather compared to turf and is another with place claims nut he is far from consistent and for that reason he is overlooked. This is a trappy affair and the market will be informative but for the winner we return to Kryena.
