The usual approach with regard to the draw should be taken here and it is difficult to see any of those drawn low managing to get involved in a field of this size. Viewforth and Zarzu along with Sharp Hat and H Harrison are all short listed as live dangers on the pick of their form and are all capable of filling at least one of the places. However, this could be the day that Chairman Bobby halts his recent bout of seconditis. The five-year-old is ideally situated to grab the all important far-side rail and he can burn them all off if he hits the gates running. H Harrison has hinted that there are races to be won with him of late and is a serious candidate to chase the selection home. While Viewforth put in a cracking effort in a competitive heat at Haydock last time and will be thereabouts if he is in the same frame of mind today. Karminsky Park appeals most out of those with lesser beneficial draws, but she has struggled to trouble the judge from a similar position here recently and it more than likely that scenario will be played out here again. Therefore the speedy Chairman Bobby is taken to hold on for victory this time in the furiously competitive heat.
