In depth
Verdict
Picture Palace, Musimaro, Wee Danny and Odagh Odyssey look the main protagonists in a wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Picture Palace. The selection won well under similar conditions last time out when defeating Wontcostalotbut and although he is rising in the weights he is fairly lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement and he is taken to win again. Musimaro rates the main danger he won a seller in good style when defeating Lowe Go last time but this looks tougher and he is rising in the weights. Wee Danny is another that could go well but he was well beaten last time and is not proven over the trip so he looks apposable on that basis.Odagh Odyssey was a fair second behind Cool Spice last time and has definite place claims with this faster ground sure to suit. Of the remainder Hatsnall has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Picture Palace.
