A wide open handicap here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Theatre Lady, Icannshift, and Kindness and the tentative vote goes to Icanshift. The selection was a good third behind Scottish River last time out and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Theatre Lady rates the main danger she won well last time out when defeating Milk And Sultana but that was on rain softened ground and under her penalty on this faster ground she looks opposable. Kindness is another worthy of respect she was just ran out of it close home by Lilli Marlane last time and runs off the same mark here so she is a danger to all. Russalka ran as if returning to form when second behind Dami last time. She is well weighted on her best form and has definite place claims. Of the remainder Castaigne is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Icanshift.
