In depth
Verdict
Another headache for punters as many can be given chances on there best form. Island Light is taken to score he won well last time out goes well on fast ground and he is reportedly fit enough to do himself justice for this his first run of the season. Gallant Boy rates the main danger he won a handicap over a mile and a quarter a couple of runs ago then he disappointed over a longer trip. This race should be run to suit him as he is a hold up performer and he is guaranteed the fast pace he needs. Thihn is also worthy of consideration he goes well fresh, is proven on the ground and he is running over his optimum trip. Corageous Duke is from a yard in form but his best efforts have come when there is more cut in the ground. Oakley Rambo would also have a chance on his best form but he to is usually seen to better effect on softer ground. Cat's Whiskers is another that could go well, he is from a yard in form and he is proven on the ground. Jewel Of India has been in fair form of late and he has a good draw but he has never won off a mark this high. Captain Venti always travels well in his races but he does not always find as much as is expected off the bridle. Sarraf is also in form but his best efforts have been over seven furlongs of late. Incline is from a yard top yard and he is proven on the ground so any market confidence should be noted.
