A wide open contest here with very little between many of the leading fancies and the principals look to be Another Ambition, Guns And Butter and More Equity and the tentative nomination is given to Another Ambition. The selection hails from the imperious Tony Martin yard and although disappointing lusty time out he is sure to appreciate this faster surface and he should be watched in the market. Guns And Butter rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Mill Side but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and is taken on with this in mind. More Equity is another that could go well on his latest third behind Bonnie Rock but all his best form is on a slightly softer surface. Lady Sambury won well last time out when beating Ever Special but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Of the remainder Mhilu looks vulnerable under top weight Beau Largesse is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Another Ambition to small stakes.
