A wide open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Captain Hardy, Penny Pictures and Belcaro and the vote goes to Penny Pictures. The selection is well weighted on her best form and ran as if running in to form when third behind Wun Chai a reproduction of that effort should suffice here. Captain Hardy rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Isam Top and he remains at the right end of the handicap but he is not proven over a trip this far and for that reason he is opposed. Belcaro is another that could go well he was a fair third behind Technology last time and that form has since been franked but he just gave the impression that he was in the handicappers grip and he is passed over on this occasion. Cumbrian Knight is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Ebinzyd last time and has won over this course and distance before. Of the remainder Snipe is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Penny Pictures.
