Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off proceedings and it looks a very tricky getting out stakes so investments should be kept to a minimum. However the main protagonists look to be Bint Royal Lucid Dreams, Risk Free and Tancred Arms and we will stick with Bint Royal. The gelding is ultra consistent and he won well last time out when defeating Pants and although he has risen in the weights for that win he will be hard to beat with an experienced jockey onboard. Lucid Dreams rates the main danger on his lates second behind Fearby Cross but he looks to face an impossible task from draw 16. Risk Free is another well weighted but his best efforts usually come with more cut in the ground. Tancred Arms is also a danger to all she won well last time out and has the plot draw. Of the remainder Woodland River and Sheik And Swing are from, shrewd yard and are worth a cautionary look in the market.
