Raise The Goblet, Pairumani Princess and Pretty Demanding are three against the field in this wide open handicap and the confident vote is given to Raise The Goblet. The selection won in facile fashion last time out when beating A Mother's Love and although having a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper. He has a good draw and the ground in his favour so should prove tough to beat. Pairumani Princess rates the main danger on her latest sixth behind Nicomedia. That form has since been well advertised and if she comes on for the run she will not be far away. Pretty Demanding is another that could go well as he beat Silver Mtzva with a little in hand last time but he will do well defy his penalty in this more competitive affair. Potentiale's best form is over longer trip and with more cut in the ground while Lindhoven is unexposed and could improve, but for the winner we are happy to return to the progressive Raise The Goblet.
