Verdict
Frisby, Bond Millennium and Geronimo are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote goes to Frisby. The selection won well last time out when defeating Disco Diva and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Bond Millennium rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing behind Regents Secret last time and for that reason he is opposed. Geronimo is another worthy of respect he was a staying on fourth behind Stoic Leader last time and will appreciate this longer trip. Pawn In Life is another that could go well as he has dropped to a handy mark and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Inchdura is another that has dropped to a handy mark but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for thew winner we return to Frisby.
