Verdict
Bowl of Cherries, Rowan Warning and Secam are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Bowl Of Cherries. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he is rising in the weights he looks a progressive type and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Rowan Warning rates the main danger on his latest second behind Moyoko but he has had plenty of chances and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Secam is another that could go well but he was behind Rowan Warning last time and on the same terms here he has a little to find. Of the remainder, Grand Palace has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price, but for the winner we return to the improving Bowl Of Cherries.
