Emmara gets the vote here with The Nifty Fox and Ronnie Howe rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Carillon last time out, that form sets the standard here and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. The Nifty Fox rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence Ronnie Howe is another that could go well on his latest third behind Lady Lilly but he has had plenty of chances in similar races without taking one and is opposed with this in mind. Of the remainder O'Dwyer is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Emmara who will be hard to beat.
