Prime Contender won well last time and looks set to follow up, Smart Tiger and River Mist Image may provide most danger. The Barry Hills trained gelding was most impressive when landing a Windsor maiden last time. He made all and stayed on well to beat Salford Artist by a long looking five lengths. He should be well suited by this longer trip and isa confident choice. Smart Tiger could be anything. He won his only race in Germany and is now with a very able trainer. River Mist Image has shown plenty of promise in all three races to date and doesn't look badly treated for her handicap debut. Oatcake is another to consider for each-way purposes, but Prime Contender couldn't have been any more impressive last time and he is taken to land back to back victories.
