Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the runners but the principals look to be Wrenlane, Bank On Him and Lara Falana and the tentative vote goes to Wrenlane. The selection won well last time out when defeating Lytham and although her best form is over a shorter trip she is taken to win again a she looks as if he will get an easy lead. Bank On Him rates the main danger on his latest second behind Mr Midasman but he is becoming hard to win with and for that reason he is opposed. Lara Falarna looks well weighted on her best form and looks sure to have the race run to suit so although she was disappointing last time she could run well at a price here. Cormorant Wharf ran as if about to hit form when fourth behind Barry Island last time and he is another to note in the market. Of the remainder Regent's Secret is from a shrewd yard and is another that could go well but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Wrenlane.
