This is another wide open handicap and Jane Of Arc is the sporting selection to beat Danlova and Bivouac. Jim Goldie's three-year-old put in some solid efforts last season, including an excellent second behind the 90 rated Sans Reward. Taking that form literally her current mark of 61 is very tempting and she does take a big drop in class. Danalova is one that comes here in great form having beaten a modest field convincingly last time. Meanhwile Bivouac has also found a bit of form and should be playing for some place money. Cheshire Prince and Skye But N Ben are two others to consider despite their big weights, but on last season's form Jane Of Arc is well treated and she gets our narrow vote.
