In depth
Verdict
Another wide open affair in which many can be given chances. Edmo Heights won well last time out when defeating Claude Greengrass, that form has since been franked and he will be hard to beat despite rising in the weights. Super Nomad has been chasing of late and he was a good second in that sphere behind Arctic Fancy. He was a fair hurdler before that and if the rain stays away he will be a danger to all. Ontos was a fair third behind Eastern Tribute at Ayr on heavy ground having looked the winner turning in. This faster ground should suit and he will not be far away. Batswing has also been chasing of late, he to was a fair hurdler at his best but he looks to high in the weights to score. Xaipete won a chase in good style at Ayr last time out on heavy ground . However he is not as consistent on this faster ground. Of the remainder Khan Kicker is from a yard in form and he is better than what he has shown of late.
