Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists appear to be Sweet Peak, Muhannak and Le Singe Noir and the vote is given to be Sweet Peak. The selection was a fair second behind Perpetual Motion last time out. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Muhannak rates the main danger on his latest second behind Primo Loco but he is unproven on the surface and is taken on with this in mind. Le Singe Noir is another that could go well on his latest third behind Trans Siberian but he has had plenty of chances and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder View From The Top is from a shrewd in-form yard and could go well at a price but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence, and with this in mind for the winner we return to Sweet Peak.
