Lambrini Bianco gets the confident vote here with Fisherman Jack and Sconced rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Lucky Luck and although he has a penalty for that win this looks a poor race and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Fisherman Jack rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Icares d'Oudaries but he was a lucky winner on that occasion and this looks tougher so he is readily opposed. Sconced is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Middleway but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip on that occasion and for that reason he is overlooked. Of the remainder Glashedy Rock is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence and with this in mind for the winner we return to Lambrini Bianco.
