A competitive claimer gets proceedings under way and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Linning Wine, Reversionary, Noul and Atlantic Ace and the vote is given to Linning Wine. The selection was a fair third behind Nimello in this grade last time out, that form has since been franked and from what looks a good draw he will be hard to beat. Reversionary rates the main danger on his best form as he looks to be on a handy mark he is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market.Noul is another worthy of respect on his best form but his best efforts of late have been over a shorter trip so he is passed over on this occasion. Atlantic Ace was a fair fourth behind Cherished Number in a better race last time out. He is sure to have come on for that run and is another with definite place claims. Of the remainder Buscador is a course and distance winner but he has a little to find on official BHB ratings and in a tough race to call for the winner we return to Linning Wine.
