This is another pretty weak affair with our vote going to Tee Jay Kassidy over Fraamtastic and Zinging. The selection is lightly raced and, after winning over this trip at Southwell in March, took the scenic route when second at Wolverhampton last time. With John Egan taking over from an inexperienced rider now, that, for us, swings things in the gelded son of Petong's favour, and we take him to score. The best of Zinging's form must surely make him competitive in this modest affair, while Fraamtastic comes in very good heart following two all-weather wins but she has no form on soft going. Dundonald, who was not far behind the selection when they last met, holds place claims but, again, has no form on soft going, while the others have looked very ordinary so far. This brings us back to Tee Jay Kassidy, who gets the vote.
