Verdict

A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Spider Boy, Fistral and Tayman and the vote is given to Spider Boy. The selection was a fair second behind Maxamix last time out again has conditions to suit and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Fistral rates the main danger on his latest second behind Little Bob, he looks sure to appreciate this longer trip and will not be far away. Tayman was let down by his jumping last time out and will need to improve in that department if he is to get competitive while Northern Dune hails from a shrewd yard so should be watched in the market but Spider Boy has everything going for him today and looks the one to be on.
