Verdict
Another wide open affair in which many can be given chances on there best form. Pinkerton, New Wish and Tiber are sure to have there supporters. However we prefer to stick with Brireus who won a maiden in good style last time out as he looks be be on a fair mark for this his first attempt in a handicap. New Wish ran well in defeat last time out and has definite place claims but his best efforts have been on slightly faster ground. Tiber was a fair second behind La Mouline last time out but he needs to improve again to score. Nawow has been in fair form of late and he could run well at a big price. Pinkerton is another that could go well now that he has his favoured ground.
