Hellbent, Maluti and Enjoy The Buzz are three against the field in a competitive opener and the tentative vote is given to the last named. The selection won well last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand aand he is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Hellbent is another last time out winner rates the main danger but his best form is on the Aw and his form on turf leaves him with a little to find so he is passed over on this occasion. Maluti is another that could go well on his latest third behind Ballybunion as he has dropped to a handy mark and is from a shrewd yard so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Jasmine Pearl and Boleyn Castle are game and consistent and are sure to run there races but in a race with few in-form for the winner we return to Enjoy The Buzz.
