There doesn¿t seem any point in opposing URSUMMAN here so we won't with Itzacliche looking the only danger and Jimmys Duky rated best of the rest. The Jonjo O'Niell trained pick is by far and faway the highest rated in the race with his nearest rival having to find 25 pounds to score according to the official marks. It is fair to say his form has not been spectacular recently but Jonjo must have spotted something he liked to purchase this one and the change of scenery might bring about an improvement on his UK debut. Itzacliche won this race last season and does go well here recording two wins from two starts. His recent efforts in handicaps have been solid but he might have to settle for place money this time. Jimmys Duky has failed to complete on his last two runs but before that his form was solid, however, it will take a monumental improvement to beat the selection Ursumman.
