Ask The Umpire gets the confident vote here with Easibrook Jane and Look To The Future rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Newtown under similar conditions and, although he has a penalty for that win, he again has conditions to suit and in a poor race he is taken to win again. Easibrook Jane rates the main danger on her best form but she has failed to complete the course on her last two starts so cannot be put forward with any confidence. Look To The Future is another that could go well if he puts in a fluent round of jumping, but that is a big if. Of the remainder, All Sonsilver has dropped to a handy mark but has shown very little of late and, for the winner, we return to Ask The Umpire.
