In depth
Verdict
Another wide open affair here for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Speedfit Free, Bella Beguine, Friar Tuck and Columbine and we will take a chance on the last named. The gelding from the Alan Berry yard has been in fair form of late will not mind the ground and if he gets luck in running he will be hard to beat. Speedfit Free rates the main danger, he won well last time out when defeating Mr Bountiful and although he has risen in the weights he has definite place claims with conditions again in his favour. Bella Beguine is also worthy of respect she won well last time out on the AW but her best form on turf has come on faster ground so for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Friar Tuck could also go well he is still on a fair mark and he to will love the ground of the remainder Francis Flute and Penny Ha'penny are from yards in form and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Colombine.
