Jour de Mee,Watermouse and Darialann are three against the field in another wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Jour de Mee. The selection was a fair second behind Glen Thyne last time out. That horse has since ran well under his penalty and off what remains a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Watermouse rates the main danger won a selling hurdle when last seen and if he is fit enough to do himself justice after a 824 day absence he would not be far away. Darialann was a fair fourth behind Golden Feather last time and is another with place claims especially as his yard are in form and he is dropping in grade so he should be noted in the market. Winter Coral is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is becoming hard to win witrh. Of the remainder Lady Maranzi is another that looks to be on a handy mark and is from a yard in form but in a race that throws up more questions than answers and where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Jour de Mee.
