This is a tough race for punters to call to round off the card and Charming Fellow is given the narrow vote to get the better of Buena Vista and Campesino. The selection has shown plenty of promise in his two runs to date and he put up a really good effort last time when just pipped by Valley Ride at Ludlow. He is a big scopey horse and sets a decent standard for the rest. Buena Vista should improve for the step-up in trip after being outpaced in a good race at Cheltenham last time. He hails from the Martin Pipe yard and if the market were to offer any encouragement then it could pay to take the hint. Campesino is a speedy type but he seemed to struggle to get home on his racecourse debut when third behind Von Origny. Saucy King was a little disappointing on his debut but he hails from a shrewd yard and it would be no surprise to see him go well. However, Charming Fellow looks like one to follow and as such he is taken to score.
