All right Now M'Lad,Amanpuri and Sea The Light are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Sea The Light. The selection was a fair third behind Mister Quasimodo last time out. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. All right Now M'Lord rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Josear, but this looks more competitive and he will need to improve for the step up in trip to defy his penalty. Amanpuri is another that could go well as he has won his last two races in good style but he has shot up the weights and this is his toughest assignment to date and he will need to improve again to score. Nobel Bleu de Kerpau is another last time out winner who could go well as he beat Hatress with a little in hand last time out but that form has since been let down and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Come Bye is better with much more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to Sea The Light.
