Verdict
A wide open contest here and many would have chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be The Hairy Lemon, Sigwells Club Boy and Sunnyarjun and we will take a chance on the last named. The selection won well last time out when defeating Misbehaviour with plenty in hand and although he is rising in the weights he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. The Hairy Lemon rates the main danger on his latest second behind Shady Anne but he is far from consistent and for that reason he is opposed. Sigwells Club Boy is another worthy of respect especially as the drop back to this trip should suit but he is basically weighted up to his best. Cashel Dancer showed improved form to be second behind De Blanc last time and looks well weighted so he could go well at a price. Of the remainder Royal Prodigy is game and consistent in this grade and is sure to run his race but he looks exposed and for the winner we return to Sunnyarjun.
