Tanners Court gets the narrow vote in the opener with Mount Benget and Monash Lad rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second on his first run of the season behind Grey Samuri, that form has sinxce been franked and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Mount Benget rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bathworth Beau but he is rising in the weights without winning and is taken on with this in mind. Monash Lad is another with place claims on his bets form but consistency is not his strong point. Adare Prince hails from a yard in top form and should be noted in the market while Gold Again is another that looks sure to improve but for the winner we return to Tanners Court to small stakes.
