Madiba, Montage and Dark Parade are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Madiba. The selection won well last time when beating Efforeta and although having a penalty for that win he is one of the few in the field that is certain to stay the trip and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Montage rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ice And Fire but he looks very one-paced and again he may be tapped for toe when the pace quickens before staying-on again. Dark Parade was a fair second behind Liberate last time and is another with place claims but he looks weighted up to his best. High Point has dropped to a handy mark and could go well from a good draw but his best form is on turf. Kayf Aramis is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to Madiba.
