Verdict
Kew The Music looks the one to be with on his hat-trick bid and he is taken to score at the main expense of Roman Empire andTorquemada. The selection is in great heart at present and he has won each of his last two starts. He seemed to win with a bit to spare when beating Smokin Joe last time and as he proved his effectiveness over this trip that day, he is taken to score once again. Roman Empire looks on good terms with himself at present, but he was all-out to beat Kennington at Southwell on Tuesday, and he may just find one too good here. Torquemada put up a fair effort when third behind Nearly A Fool over this course and distance last time and he is another with decent claims in an open affair. Menai Straights was a good second behind Mind Alert on his debut on this surface last time and he proved he is effective here. He also has a good claimer on board but he may just find this race too hot. This is an open affair and many would have chances on their best form, but we will stick with Kew The Music as our idea of the winner.
