Some very interesting newcomers here including Dream Merchant, Selective and Prime Powered, but Turbo has the solid form claims and gets the verdict. This Terry Mills trained six-year-old has returned to the track in great form this autumn, finishing a close runner up on two occasions. The latest was behind the 113 rated Allumee and so he sets a high enough standard today. Selective, rated 84 on the flat, makes the long journey down from Keith Reveley's yard and will no doubt have been well schooled. Dream Merchant also hails from a top yard and although only modest on the flat, should be noted in the betting market. Prime Powered is trained by Gary Moore who had a first time out winner last week so this one has to be respected. The betting ring will prove invaluable here, but Turbo has the proven ability and gets the nod.
