Verdict
Another open affair for punters to fathom with many in with chances on their best form but the main protagonists appear to be Sturm Und Drang, Newsplayer and Pincesse Grec and we will take a chance on Sturm Und Drang. The gelding from the Chris Down yard has been in fair form of late and a reproduction of his latest third behind Sharp Steel would make him hard to beat. Newsplayer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Pharbeitfromme but consistency is not his strong point. Princesse Grec is also worthy of consideration on her latest third behind Brother Joe, she looks well weighted on that form but she is still a maiden so for that reason she is opposed. Hakim is from a yard in form but looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived so we are happy to stick with Sturm Und Drang.
