Mounsey Castle gets the confident vote here with Mark Equal, and Farnaheezview rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Ede'iff and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and with the drop in trip sure to suit he looks the one to be on. Mark Equal rates the main danger as he was a fair fair third behind Good Lord Louis last time, but although he travels well in his races he finds very little off the bridle and for that reason he is opposed. Farnaheezview is another with place claims on his latest third behind Daretobedifferent but he looked very one paced and may be out paced close home again. Jacquemart Colombe was a fair fourth behind Prince Of Slane last time and is another that could go well but that form has since been let down and for the winner we return to Mounsey Castle.
