A tight handicap for punters to fathom here with many in-form rivals in opposition including Satshoon, Sovereign and Wee Danny, and we will take a chance on the last named. The gelding from the Luke Dace yard has improved out of all recognition this season and although he has risen dramatically in the weights, his form looks rock solid and a reproduction of his latest victory over Excellent Vibes would make him hard to beat. Satshoon rates the main danger as he won well last time out when defeating Sovereign here, his third course win, and with Jamie Jenkins taking off a handy seven pounds there will not be much between those rivals again. Of the remainder, Reasonable Reserve is another in good form but gave the impression that the handicapper had just caught up with him when second behind Lorenzino last time out, so we are happy to side with Wee Danny.
