One Way Ticket is a course specialist and he can land this event at the main expense of Harrison's Flyer and What Do You Know. The selection was well backed before running creditably from a wide draw last time to chase home Sir Loin at Wolverhampton. He loves this track, has the plum draw and should take plenty of beating. Harrison's Flyer ran well last ime when third behind Matteroffact at Goodwood and he is a dual course and distance winner so has to enter calculations here today. What Do You Know finished just in front of Harrison's Flyer in that Goodwood race and he has the better draw today. On these terms there should be very little between them again. Chatshow is well drawn and goes well here so is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with One Way Ticket.
