Otrando, Burgundy and Jools are the three to concentrate on in the opener with the vote going to Otrando. The selection looks the form pick on what he achieved so far this season having won at Ayr on his penultimate start and then finishing an eye catching third to Fort Churchill at York last time out. He will only have to repeat that performance to win this so is one to stay on the right side of. Burgundy won at Kempton in June and performed well enough at the same track last time out. His form can be a little hit and miss though and for that reason is to be treated with caution. Jools is another that has the ability to run well but always seems to get himself into a spot of bother. He was not been beaten far last time out at Wolverhampton so is one to note in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Otrando.
