Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Temper Lad,Sissinghurst Storm and Foxmeade Dancer and the tentative vote is given to Temper Lad. The selection won well last time out when beating Sundawn Lady and although he has a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and at a course he likes he is taken to win again. Sissinghurst Storm rates the main danger as he is well handicapped on his best form and was a fair third behind Cool Lad last time out. However he is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Foxmeade Dancer is another that could go well on his latest third behind Darkshape but he has yet to win over this trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Osiris is from a yard in form and could go well at a price if his jumping does not let him down but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Temper Lad.
