Verdict
Figaro Du Rocher, Multheen River and Bill's Echo are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to the last named. The selection was a good second behind Rajam. He runs off the same mark here he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Figaro Du Rocher rates the main danger because although he was disappointing last time out that could be put down to the soft ground. He remains on a fair mark and if the ground stays on the fast side he will not be far away. Multheen River is another that could go well on his best form but he may just need the run after a 190 day absence and for that reason is opposed. Jazz Night has won his last two races in good style and could run well at a price but he is rising in the weights and that may just catch him out. Of the remainder Deep King is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is best when allowed to dominate and that does not look likely here and for the winner we return to Bill's Echo.
