A large field goes to post for the first on the card but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Sweet Oona, Tignasee and Hail The King and the vote is given to Tignasee. The selection hails from the in-form Gary Moore yard and was a fair third behind Fiddles Music on his debut. He is sure to have come on for the experience and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Sweet Oona rates the main danger as she has had plenty of experience and is game and consistent and was one place in front of the selection last time out. However she lacks the scope of the selection and he looks capable of gaining his revenge here. Hail The King was a fair fourth behind Island Stream last time and is another with place claims but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Seifi has won at up to 10 furlongs on the flat and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market but his best form has come on soft ground and for the winner we return to Tignasee.
