Lucksin gets the vote here with Hypnosis and Compromiznotension rated as the main dangers. The selection showed decent form as a juvenile and he has shaped encouragingly on both of his starts this term. Admittedly he has found one too good in each race but there is nothing wrong with his attitude and he is taken to lead them home. Hypnosis will go on the ground and he ran much better last time at Carlisle when beaten by Moremeatmic. However, he has not been done any favours by the draw today and for that reason we will take him on. Compromiznotension is dropped in trip after fading over 7f at Redcar last time. His stable has to be respected in these type of events and he is well drawn, but he will have to improve to get his head in front. Fortress is well drawn and is better than he showed last time, so he may go well at an each-way price. However, for the winner we will stick with Lucksin.
