Croseco Cusan, Circadian Rhythm and Hobson look set to fight out the finish in this handicap and the vote is given to HOBSON. The selection ran well on his return from a break when chasing home Effigy at Salisbury last time out. He shaped that day as though he could be ready to get his head in front and with ground conditions to suit he looks to have been found a good opportunity. Croeso Cusan won well last time but that was on a soft surface and this Diktat filly will find life tougher on these terms back on quicker ground. Circadian Rhythm has been in decent form on the all-weather but this drop in trip is not sure to play to her strengths and for that reason she is passed over. Kannon has been running well of late but she is best over 7f and we will stick with Hobson as our choice to land the prize.
