A small but competitive field goes to post for this classified race and all the runners would have a chanced of winning on their best form however we will take a chance on Ballybunion. The four year old from the Dandy Nicholls yard has held his form well this season and he was a fair sixth having found trouble in running behind Cd Flyer last time. If he gets a clear run which he should do in this small field he will be hard to beat. Time N Time Again rates the main danger on his latest effort as fifth behind the enigmatic Pax however he gave the impression he was crying out for an extra furlong there and this flying five is not sure to suit so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Stoic Leader's best form of late has come with more cut in the ground while Brevity has become very disappointing of late so the confident vote goes to the in form Ballybunion.
