Bollin Fergus has the form to win this at the expense of Butterfly Bud and Immaculate Red. The selection is relativley unexposed with only five runs under his belt and he improved to finish third of twelve at Newcastle last time out to warrant a chance of success here. His oppostion looks limited too so it looks an ideal opportunity to break his maiden tag. Butterfly Bud on the other hand has had an ample of opportunities and although he has run a couple of fair races he has proven costly to follow and a win on his seventeenth attempt looks unlikely but is certain to figure in the placings once more. Immaculate Red showed promise early on but has not progressed and is another frustrating horse to follow. His form figurse have dwindled of late and is best watched. So for the winner we return to Bollin Fergus.
