Verdict

A wide open contest where the Gordon Elliott-trained SONG OF NAMIBIA can following on from his impressive start to the season at Downpatrick and Wexford last month. The Cape Cross gelding finished a neck down on handicap debut on his latest start and can continue in good form at the expense of stablemate, Star Maker. A pair each from the in form yards of John McConnell and Gavin Cromwell, Pearl Of The West, Play The Game, Ejayteekay and Ming Dynasty are all capable of a big run.
