VAN BOSSED is taken to get the better of Little Pete and Wotashirtfull. The selection ran his best for a while when chasing home Laddies Poker Two at Ascot back in September. He has a good draw here and ground conditions to suit and he looks the one to beat. Little Pete hails from a yard in good form and he finished fourth behind Perfect Flight last time. The drop in trip will not be a problem here but he may need some respite from the handicapper before he is able to resume winning ways. Wotashirtfull was no match for Magical Speedfit at Brighton last time but he is in good form and he has a decent draw and he should be up to claiming some prize money. Supermassive Muse was a little disappointing last time but it was a competitive heat and he was returning from a break so he should come on for the run. There are plenty in with chances and the vote is given to Van Bossed.
