HOLBECK GHYLL is taken to land this valuable event from Oldjoesaid and Fyodor. The selection has a 5lb rise for winning at Epsom on Derby day negated here by the presence of David Probert in the saddle and with conditions and trip to suit the talented apprentice can steer him home. Topweight Oldjoesaid has some very solid form and trip and ground suit Henry Candy's runner who went close in Listed company last time. Fyodor may be a bit high in the weights but his recent Haydock success suggests that he can remain competitive. Sohraab has won two from his last three and must be taken seriously from this mark with ideal conditions. Tabaret is not easy to win with and Invincible Force may be a better proposition from this mark and back on his favoured fast ground. Strike Up The Band looks the best of sprint king Dandy Nicholls' trio, though Indian Trail is also on an attractive mark and cannot be ruled out, but preference is for Holbeck Ghyll.
