Riska King is from an in-form yard and looks the one to be with here and he gets the vote ahead of the likely dangers Templet and Band. The selection won well when defeating Jubilee Street at Beverley last time and although he has a penalty for that win, he won in good style last time and is proven on the ground so looks worth taking a chance on. Templet beat Just A Fluke last time but only just got his head in front that day and he looks vulnerable under a penalty. He is also not the most straightforward, so at the likely odds he looks worth taking on. Band beat Kelseas Kolby last time and that horse has since gone on to run well in defeat, so Band has to be given plenty of respect here. Of the remainder, Armetieres ran as if returning to form when second last time and remains on a fair mark, but we will stick with Riska King as the one they all have to beat.
