Mad, Cashel Queen and Lyrical Way are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the tentative vote goes to Mad. The selection has been in good form of late and was a fair second last time out behind Summerise. She remains on the same mark here and with the race sure to be run to suit she is taken to score. Cashel Queen rates the main danger on her latest third behind Lytham. Lyrical Way is another that could go well but he ran as if in the handicappers grip when fourth behind Flying Spirit last time out and for that reason he is opposed. Otago is from a yard in form and is sure to be suited by the step up in trip so should be noted in the market. The Job is a course winner but his best form is over a shorter trip and he is not sure to stay this far. Of the remainder Duelling Banjos is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Mad.
