Yourgolftravel Com is probably the likeliest winner but with slight doubts about both the trip and the ground he's opposed at a likely short price and a chance is taken with MOTOR HOME ahead of the consistent course specialist Landucci and Cordell. The selection has plenty to prove but he was handed an initial mark of 83 when with Andrew Balding yet lines up here just thirteen starts later on a perch of just 53. That's a fair reflection of his regression but he has run well here in the past and it may be worth taking a chance that a change of yards can rekindle his fortunes. Yourgolftravel Com won over seven here in April but was stepped up to ten furlongs last time where he just missed out by a nose; a rain softened surface would be a concern and this hold-up performer does rather need things to drop right so there could be some mileage in opposing him at a short price. Monashee Rock makes some appeal with the yard's horses in fair form whilst Landucci is a six time course winner but may just need to come down a pound or two in the ratings and Cordell may turn out to be a bigger threat on debut for a shrewd yard who are more than capable of exploiting the gelding's current mark. Market support for him would be ominous for the rest but we'll stick with Motor Home at this juncture.
