Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds of the card and as usual the market will prove all important but the principals look to be Dara Capall, Young Scotton and The Weaver and we will side with Young Scotton. The gelding from the Kevin Ryan yard won well last time out when defeating Aces Four and although he has a penalty for that win, is taken to put his experience to good use. Dara Capall is a well-bred sort from a yard that does well in this sphere so is worth noting in the market. The Weaver is another from a top yard that catches the eye on breeding but he may just need the run. Of the remainder, Hello Baby showed a modicum of ability on his debut when sixth behind Esh Bran and he is sure to improve, but for the winner we return to Young Scotton.
