Don'tcallmeginger comes here in winning form and can make it back to back victories, Music Review and Thorny Mandate look to be the main dangers. The selection proved his liking for this course when comfortably beating Sporting Gesture over this trip. The rise in weights isn't too harsh and he should porve hard to beat again this afternoon. Music Review appeared to hate the soft ground last time out and will be much more at home on the surface. Her overall form isn't too bad and she looks on a fair mark. Thorny Mandate is a recent all-weather winner and has decent enough turf form to make his mark here today. The best of the others could be Parchment, but Don'tcallmeginger looks to be on the upgrade and he gets our vote.
