A race that needs treating with a bit of caution as there's no natural front runner in the race and it might be run at a crawl. Dara's Present and Newlands Cross are both potential improvers for the switch to bigger obstacles and need noting in the market. Colmers Hill could put a poor run last time out behind him now he returns to a venue he seems to enjoy, but with Kerry Lee hitting form a chance is taken on the well-handicapped QUIETO SOL coming back to form. He dropped a bit of a hint that he might be on the way back to some better form last time, and is worth siding with.
