A wide open contest here and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Smash n' Grab, Back In The Red and Susanna's Prospect and the narrow nomination is given to Smash n' Grab. The selection won well last time out when beating Dance Of Dreams, remains on a fair mark and under similar conditios here he looks the value bet in an open affair. Back In The Red rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Mazin Lady. However this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable off this mark. Sussana's Prospect showed improved form to be fourth behind El Bosque last time aand with her yard in top form she should be closely watched in the market. Bert's Memorey looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings and looks to have plenty of weight . Of the remainder Burlington Fayr was third in seller behind Sister Ettiene last time and has place claims off this mark but in a trappy affair where the market will be very informitive for the winner we return to Smash'n Grab.
