The Teutcher, Leith Hill Star and Tianyi look the main protagonists in another tricky affair, and the vote goes to The Teutcher. The gelding was a fair second behind Springer The Lad last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Leith Hill Star rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Hirvine in a handicap last time and he could go well but his best form to date is over slightly further and for that reason he is opposed. Tianyi is also worthy of respect he is game and consistent and was a fair third behind Beauly last time. However he is very exposed and he does not have as much scope as some in the field. Of there remainder French Direction is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to improvement but in an open a fair the tentative choice is The Teutcher.
