Verdict

This may not be as competitive as the numbers suggest with the vote going to the well-treated Jonny Ebeneezer, who gets the nod over Choto Mate and Jools. The selection is well in on official BHB ratings and should be spot on now after just three runs this term. He has his ideal conditions of seven furlongs and softish ground for the first time this season and can take advantage of the drop to this company. Choto Mate is also well treated but is on a long losing sequence and may be best watched so a bigger threat may come from the in-form Jools. Philip Mitchell's gelding as won three of his last four starts but faces a stiffer task here giving weight away to all of his rivals. Course and distance winner Prince Domino and recent Catterick scorer Savile's Delight are others to consider but we are happy to side with Jonny Ebeneezer, who has solid claims.
