Mount Usher, Bolton Hall and Frank Crow look the three to concentrate on in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Mount Usher. The selection finished in mid-division behind Exit Smiling in a better race last time out, this looks easier and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Bolton Hall rates the main danger on his best form but he dissapointed when last seen so can not be put forward with much confidence. Frank Crow is from a yard in form and could go wwell at a price but his best form is with more cut in the ground. Of the remainder Spinning loves the ground and could go well at a price while Crosby Vision looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Mount Usher.
