Star Duster, Knock Bridge and Chilly Cracker are three against the field in this wide open nursery and the tentative vote goes to Knock Bridge. The selection was a fair third behind Cree of this mark last time out. That form has since been franked and with this faster ground sure to suit he is taken to get his head in front. Star Duster rates the main danger on his latest second behind Louphole last timer. However he never looked like troubling the winner there and ran as if he would be suited by a longer trip so he is passed over on this occasion. Chilly Cracker is another worthy of respect on his latest running on third behind Talcen Gwyn but he also ran as if he would be suited by further and he may find this course to Sharp. Robmantra was behind the selection last time and there is no reason why he should gain his revenge on these revised terms. Of the remainder Il Pranzo is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but he looks to have plenty of weight and for the winner we return to Knock Bridge.
