Another tough race to call here for punters with not much between many of the runners but the principals look to be Pardon What, Mini Dare and Shannon Water's and the confident vote goes to the last named. The selection won well on his first run for the Pipe stable when defeating Dd's Glenella and with the step up in trip and under similar conditions he will be hard to beat. Mini Dare rates the main danger as he is game and consistent and was a fair second behind Hanover Square last time. However he gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip and for that reason is opposed. Pardon What was a good second behind Usk Valley last time but that was in first time blinkers and they are not sure to be as effective again. Brave Caradoc is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but he looks to have plenty on under top weight. Of the remainder Fair Enough looks to be on a fair mark but for the winner we return to Shannon Water's.
