There's no obvious standout here and a chance is taken with YOURGOLFTRAVEL COM. David Pipe's representative was travelling well when coming to grief in a Stratford hurdle last time but has shown the winning touch here in the past. Although a risky proposition, he does have some adequate Flat form in his profile in the context of this race. Filun finds winning hard but is in really good heart at present and could well be good enough on the back of a solid staying-on effort when runner-up at Kempton last time. Mayfair's Future has a chance on the best of his form, whilst the market should reflect expectations surrounding Shesha Bear after an absence of over 600 days.
