Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off proceedings with many in form rivals in opposition including Amnesty, Ryan's and Bishopstone Man and we will take a chance on Ryan's Future. The three year old from the Alex Stewart yard was a fair fifth behind Compton Eclipse last time out and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Amnesty rates the main danger he was a good third behind Baltic Blazer last time out under similar conditions and he will not be far away. Henry Candy also runs the game and consistent Bishopstone man who is sure to run his race but he gave the impression the handicapper had his measure when fourth behind Spanish Don last time. Rock Concert is also worthy of respect he has dropped to a handy mark and showed signs of a revival when third behind Reap last time out. Of the remainder Other Routes and Ben Hur are from yards in form and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Ryan's Future.
