Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading Lights but the principals look to be Benny The Bus, Desert Opal and Attorney and the nomination is given to Benny The Bus. The selection was a fair second behind Forest Of Love last time out and although the drop in distance has to be of concern he looks on a handy mark and looks the value bet in an open affair. Desert Opal rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Kennington. However that form has since been let down and under his penalty he looks opposable. Attorney has been in the form of his life this season and is another with place claims but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him last time and for that reason he is opposed. Gilded Cove is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Rosein has dropped to a handy mark and with the booking of Seb Sanders catching the eye he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to his stable companion Benny The Bus.
