Verdict
Byron Lamb a good second behind Vol Solitaire last time out is taken to get back on the winning trail in this easier affair, with conditions in his favour. The Tinker rates the main danger on his second behind River Styx, however he is prone to errors and for that reason he is over looked. Iso Bald will appreciate this faster surface and has definite place claims. True Rose is another who is proven on the ground and she is sure to have been well schooled for this her debut over fences. Of the remainder Sound Of Cheers is from a yard in form and is worth a look in the market with conditions in his favour.
