Verdict

The most competitive race on the card rounds off proceedings with many in form rivals in opposition including Tuscan Flyer Columbine, Mr Spliffy and Torrent and we will take a chance on Columbine. The five year old from the Alan Berry yard has held his form well of late and a reproduction of his latest second behind Cerulean Rose would make him hard too beat as he is running off the same mark here. Tuscan Flyer rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind Delegate last time and he has definite place claims from a good draw here. Mr Spliffy could also go well he was a fair second behind The Old Solider last time and that horse has since franked the form so he is another with place claims in a wide open affair. Of the remainder Torrent and Xanadu are both in form and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Columbine in a wide open affair.
