Verdict
Another wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Terdad, Like The Buzz and Dragut Torghoud and the tentative vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair second behind Timidjar last time out. He is sure to have come on for the run and with the step up in trip sure to suit he is taken to score. Terdad rates the main danger on his best form but he was behind the selection last time and even on these revised terms their is no reason why he should gain his revenge.Like The Buzz is another that could go well he was a fair fourth behind Frentzen last time out and that form has since been franked but he tends to find less than expected off the bridle and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Presentingthecase is from a top yard and even though he has shown little he is worth a cautionary glance in the market. Of the remainder New Perk is another that is well weighted on his best form and has definite place claims but for the winner we return to Dragut Torghoud .
