Lunar Sovereign, Panthers Run and Rust En Vrede are three against the field in this trappy affair and the vote is given to Panthers Run. The selection was a fair second behind Duke's View last time out, that form has since been franked and off a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Lunar Sovereign rates the main danger on his best form but he continues to be beset with breathing problems. However he could improve for the fitting of a first time tongue tie and he should be noted in the market. Rust En Verde is another that could go well on his best form but he continues to rise in the weights for being beat and he is passed over with this in mind. Mystic Glen won well last time when beating Mana Mou Bay but this looks tougher. This is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to the unexposed Panthers Run.
