        Verdict

        Kalca Mome gets the confident vote here with Hoo La Baloo and Almaydan rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Bohamien Spirit and aklthough having a penalty for that win he looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and he will be hard to beat. Hoo La Baloo rates the main danger on his best form but he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead he looks worth taking on. Almaydan ran as if returning to form last time when third and off a handy mark he should be closely watched in the market. Iron Man looks weighted up to his best while Figaro du Rocher is better on a faster surface and with this in mind for the winner we return to Kalca Mome.
