Warpath gets the confident vote here with River Tigris and Cash On rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Dazzling Jim and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. River Tigris rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Orion Express but all his best form is on a softer surface. Cash On is another that could go well on his latest third behind Walton Way but his best form is over a longer trip and he is passed over with this in mind. Of the remainder Curved Air is from a yard in form and is unexposed so could improve but for the winner we return to Warpath who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
