A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Bow School Intersky Emerald and Camden George and the tentative vote is given to Bow School. The selection hails from a hard that can ready a newcomer and this well bred New Frontier gelding out of an unraced mare will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Intersky Emerald rates the main danger as at least he has experience on his side and was a fair fourth behind Wind Instrument last time. The step up in trip will suit and he should be closely watched in the market. Camden George is a Pasternak gelding out of Triple Town Lass and is another to note in the market while King Of Slane was pulled up in a point when sent off favourite last time out and may appreciate the drop in trip but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum and where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Bow School to minimum stakes.
