Verdict
A wide open contest in which many can be given chances and the draw may prove all important. A chance is taken on Noble View as he is from a yard in good form, is proven on the ground and looks well weighted on his best form. Archirondel rates the main danger as he is another that is well weighted on his best form. However, his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground and he has not been lucky with the draw. Sir Don is from a shrewd yard and he is in fair form, however he gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip when fourth last time out. Night Market is another from a yard in top form, and has dropped to a handy mark so any market confidence should be noted. Basinet is another worthy of consideration but his best form of late has come on the AW. Firozi is a course and distance winner and he could go well but that win came with cut in the ground. Of the remainder,My Maite could be a value each way bet as he has the best of the draw and the booking of Nigel Day catches the eye.
