Vanadium, Monashee Prince and Blackmalkin are three against the field another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Vanadium. The selection bounced back to form a couple of runs ago and then was a fair fourth in an apprentice race behind Jools. He looks sure to improve with the return to professional hands and he looks the one to be on. Blackmalkin was a fair sixth behind Tudor Prince last time and looks sure to be suited by this longer trip so should be watched in the market. Monashee Prince is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when fifth behind Memphis Man. Beneking was a fair second behind Golden Brown last time and is another with place claims but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Wadnagin hails from a yard in top form but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Vanadium
