A wide open contest rounds off the card and many can be given some sort of a chance but the principals look to be Christian Bendix, Soul Provider Jalouhar and Beamsley Beacon and the tentative vote is given to Soul Provider. The selection won well last time out and although this looks more competitive he looks the val;ue bet in an open affair under conditions that suit. Christian Bendix rates the main danger on his latest second behind Aegean Dancer especially as this longer trip looks sure to suit. Jalouhar won well last time out but was all out and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder Beamsley Beacon is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Soul Provider.
