A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Red Sun, Urban Tiger and Cash Flow and the narrow vote is given to Red Sun The selection has been in good form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest second behind Airedale Lad sets a fair standard and he looks the one to be on. Urban Tiger rates the main danger as he showed a fair bit of ability on his first two starts. However his form then tailed off but he may be the sort to catch fresh and he could go well at a price. Cash Flow is another with place claims on his latest third behind Traprain he has conditions to suit and with the booking of Phil Kinsella catching the eye he should be watched in the market. Sonic Anthem has the assistance of AP McCoy but he has only ever won a seller. Of the remainder Little Jimbob could go well but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and for the winner we return to Red Sun who looks sure to run his race.
