Ma Yahab, Blue Leader, and Cashel Dancer are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Ma Yahab. The selection won well last time out when beating Festive Chimes and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Blue Leader rates the main danger on his latest second behind Looks The Business but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Cashel Dancer is another worthy of respect on his latest win from Norma Hill but he has since been very disappointing on the flat and he will find this harder under his penalty. Caspian Dusk is another that could go well as he is two from three over hurdles and is less exposed than most but this his most difficult assignment to date. Of the remainder Ambersong is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Ma Yahab.
