A wide open contest here and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Grapes Of Wrath, Ile Royal and Mister Beano and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair fifth behind Prince Hamlet last time out. He remains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he looks a value bet. Grapes Of Wrath rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ridgeway Jazz but he looks sure to be suited by the drop in trip and he should be watched in the market. Ile Royal is another that could go well on his latest third behind Kamel but he has been done no favours by the draw. Toubouggornotobugg is unexposed and could go well off his light weight. Of the remainder, Tiger's Rocket is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Mister Beano to small stakes.
