Soul Provider gets the confident vote here with Free Wheelin (IRE), and Aintnecessarilyso rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Noorain last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here in what looks an easier race he will be hard to beat. Free Wheelin rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Labelled With Love but he is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Aintnecessarilyso is from a yard in form and looks on a very lenient mark but he has disappointed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Somuch Character is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he his best form of late has been on turf and for the winner we return to Soul Provider who looks to have everything in his favour.
