Gold Spirit gets the vote here with La Neige and Captain Marvelous rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating The Old Fella again has conditions to suit and from a good draw will be hard to beat. La Neige rates the main danger on his best foorm but he ran no sort of race last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Captain Marvellous is another that could go well as he hails from a yard in top form but he is best when allowed to dominate and as that does not look likely he looks worth taking on. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informitive but for the winner we return to Gold Spirit.
