Verdict
Grey Ciseaux, Silver Pot Black and Tino look the three to concentrate on in a wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Silver Pot Black. The selection won well last time out when defeating Garolsa and despite rising in the weights with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Grey Ciseaux rates the main danger on his best form but he was third behind Garolsa last time out and a strict reading of the form suggests he has a little to find with the selection. Tino is another worthy of respect he has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Rolfes Delight is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Silver Pot Black.
