In depth

Verdict

Another wide open contest here with many in form rivals in opposition including New Bird, Master Henry and Per Amore and we will take a chance on Master Henry. The nine year old won well last time out when defeating Midlem Melody in good style and although he has risen in the weights for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. New Bird rates the main danger he has been in good form of late and won well last time out when defeating Noble Comic. However he may struggle off this a career high mark. Per Amore is also worthy of consideration he was a fair third behind Miss Cool but his best form of late is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Nephite has dropped to a handy mark but we are happy to side with Master Henry
