Shrewd Dude, Slo Mo Shun and She's Humble are the trio to concentrate upon and we are with Shrewd Dude. Connections have taken no chances with putting Faye Bramley up and while it is something of a concern that his best runs have come on softer than this, this is not a great contest. Slo Mo Shun won readily at Towcester last time out. She made all in plating class but nobody was brave enough to stick their hand up at the subsequent auction. Plumpton regular, She's Humble invariably isn't that far away. The market is watched on a return from absence. Mycenean Prince is a long standing maiden. His form over chase fences has tailed off badly and he is reverted to smaller obstacles today. Silvo has been disappointing and has it to do in order to reverse form with rivals. The once promising Wujood lost his way once leaving Hughie Morrison. Floodlight Fantasy should be fit from a few spins on the level. Shrewd Dude is the pick in a race that won't take a lot of winning.
