Carr Hall, Musaashi and Alfredtheordinary make the shortlist here, with Carr Hall taken to continue winning form. Musaashi returned to winning form with a vengeance last time, and only 5lbs higher here, looks set to go well. Alfredtheordinary has been finding one or two too good recently, and his turf rating seems more competitive than his all-weather mark, so he is passed over. Carr Hall showed real gameness to lose his maiden tag last time, and now that he has discovered how to get his head in front, he looks capable of winning again only 2lbs higher. Carr Hall can follow up.
