A wide open handicap here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Quiet Water, Annie Byers, Moving Earth and Yourman and the tentative vote goes to Quiet Water. The selection won well last time out when last seen on the racecourse defeating Miss Cool. Granted that was in a novices chase but he returns to hurdling on a fair mark and if he is fit enough to do himself justice he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Annie Byers rates the main danger on her best form she won well last time out when defeating Madge Carroll and remains on a fair mark. However her best form is with much more cut in the ground and for that reason she is opposed on this occasion. Moving Earth is another that is well weighted on his best form but he was very disappointing when last seen behind Jakari and he is hard to back with any confidence until he has proved he is back to form. However he has gone well fresh in the past so he is worth noting in the market. Yourman is from a yard in top form and is another that could go well but he did not progress as expected last season. Of the remainder Harbour Bond is improving with each run and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Quiet Water.
