Le Corvee, Pips Assertive Way and Dumaran are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Le Corvee. The selection was a dfair third behind Classi Maureen when last seen over hurdles he has been in fair form on the flat of late and off what looks a fair mark he looks a value bet in an open affair. Pips Assertive Way rates the main danger on his best form but he dissapointed in a seller behind Atticus Boy last time out and he will need to improve on that if he is to win here. Dumaran won well last time out when beating Country Escape but he was all out on that occasion and he looks vulnerable under his [enalty. Blushing Prince has everything in his favour but he has a temprement to go weith it so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Of the remainder Moscow Cruise is from a shrewd Irish yard and should be watched in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Le Corvee.
