Verdict
A pretty ordinary contest and we take topweight Mister Right to be up to the task, with Three Ships, Acuzio, Graceful Air and Sling Back others to consider. Mister Right left some poor hurdling form behind with a close third to Knickyknackienoo at Warwick last time out, and although he gave the impression that further would be preferable, he handled the trip well enough to suggest that a similar effort would see him win a race like this. Three Ships will have support after a fast ground hurdles win last time, but on the level his form has been no better than ordinary, and this ground will be quicker still so he has a bit more to prove. Acuzio has a modicum of ability and handles the ground, but is held by the selection on their running last time, while Graceful Air has conditions to suit, but a bit too much weight for our liking. Of the others, Sling Back has stamina to prove, though a first time visor may see some improvement, but Mister Right did enough last time to suggest he can get his nose in front here.
