Another wide open handicap here for punters to fathom with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Half Inch, Twentytwosilver and Mandoob and the vote goes to Half Inch. The selection was a fair second behind Spike And Divel last time out, he looks to be on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Twentytwosilver rates the main danger he was just behind the selection in the same race last time and is better in at the weights here but the selection has more scope for improvement and for that reason he is opposed. Mandoob was a fair fourth behind Sir Walter last time and is another with place claims but this looks more competitive. Miss Skippy would have a chances on her bet form but ran as if the handicapper had caught up with her last time and for that reason she looks opposable. Of there remainder Buffalo Bill is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Half Inch.
