Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be All Out For Seven, Murphys Beau and Glengap and the narrow vote is given to Glengap. The selection has won a point in his native Ireland looks sure to know his job and under conditions that suit he could be a value bet. Muyrphys Beau rates the main danger on his latest second behind Evelith Regent he looks sure to improve again and will not be far away. All Out For Seven hails from a yard that has a fair record in these events and this Gelding by Simply Great should be watched in the market. Of the others Calm Seas shaped with promise on his debut and is another that is sure to improve while Walamo is another that catches the eye on breeding and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers Glengap gets our vote.
