Squantum,Inagh Road and Tommy Spar are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Inagh Road. The selection was a fair sort between the flags last season. Enters handicaps on what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Squantum rates the main danger on his latest second behind Walsingham and he is sure to be suited by this longer trip. However he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived and for that reason he is opposed. Tommy Spar is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind North Landing but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Lampos was a fair fourth behind Lutin Du Moulin last time out and is another that will appreciate this longer trip but in a race where the market will be very informative and where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Inagh Road.
