Verdict
Another wide open contest in which many have chances. Indian Plume is well in on his best form and was slightly unlucky last time out and if he gets a clear run he will be hard beat. True Night could also go well he is from a stable in top form and he should go close. Devolution looks the one to beat having ran well on his debut he will have come on for the run and he is still at the right end of the handicap. Harmony hall could also go well at a fair price.
