A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look tom be Wellpict One, Kildonnan, Dancing Partner and Fencote Gold and the confident vote is given to Wellpict One. The selection has been second on his two runs to date but a reproduction of his latest second behind Bugle Major sets a fair standard and he need only run up to that mark to score. Kildonnan rates the main danger as he was a fair fifth on his debut behind Sunset Light he is sure to have come on for the run and should be noted in the market.Dancing Partner is from a yard that does well in this sphere and this Distant View colt, half-brother to 7f winner Ballet Fame is another to note in the market. Of the remainder Fencote Gold ran better than her finishing position would imply on her debut and is another that is sure to improve but for the winner we return to Wellpict One.
