Turn Me On is selected ahead of Fair Shake, Motafarred and Eternal Legacy. Tim Walford has been in fine form of late, and with that in mind we have no reservations about picking Turn Me On to follow up what was a comfortable success on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton. He travelled well throughout then, suggesting that there is a lot more left in the locker, and he does not look at all badly treated. Fair Shake caught the eye in defeat at Redcar, his best form to date, while Motafarred had the misfortune to be caught in the final strides by Nan Jan at Kempton, and is another that can go close. Eternal Legacy will benefit from this drop back in trip after fading over a mile at Redcar, and is yet another for the short-list, but Turn Me On is the percentage call.
