Good Man Again gets the confident vote with Knight Of Silver and Little Brave rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Espresso Forte last time out, this slightly shorter trip should suit and he will be hard to beat despite top weight. Knight Of Silver rates the main danger on his latest third behind The Kirk but consistency is not his strong point and for that reason he is opposed. Little Brave is another worthy of respect on his latest second in a seller behind Chickapeakray. He should appreciate this longer trip but this looks more competitive. Of the remainder Altitude Dancer is from a shrewd yard and should noted in the market but for the winner we return to Good Man Again.
