Fabreze can clean up here at the main expense of Legendary Guest. Again a poor turnout and Fabreze looks to have little to beat. A winner last time out Nottingham, the selection seemed to beat an average field with some authority. Whilst this small field may not play to his strengths (connections believe that he will be best when delivered at the last minute), he should still have the class. Legendary Guest won three starts back at Southwell and he goes well on this quick ground; he has had a busy little period though and this may be asking a bit too much. Rubirosa hasn't won since his debut as a juvenile and his recent efforts leave plenty to be desired. Pavershooz is unexposed after just three starts and has shown glimpses of ability, however a mark of 70 looks plenty high enough judged on the evidence we have seen to date. Fabreze it is then who receives the nomination.
