A wide open handicap here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Ti Adora,Treason Trial,Jackie Kiely and Star Welcome and the vote is given to Ti Adora. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he is rising in the weights he is well in here compared to what he will be rated next week and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Treason Trial rates the main danger on her latest third behind Marias Magic. That form has since been franked and she will not be far away although she is hard to win with. Jackie Kiely is another worthy of respect on her best form but she ran as if in the handicappers grip when well behind The Gaikwar last time and for that reason is opposed. Star Welcome is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Maystock but he has yet to conclusively prove he stays this far. Of the remainder J R Stevenson has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Ti Adora who is in the form of his life,
