Verdict
Franklin Roosevelt bounced back from a poor run at Wetherby to win at Plumpton earlier this month and is one for the short-list here. Oscar Prairie shouldn't be dismissed out of hand if blinkers have the desired effect while Cardigan Island got back to winning ways at Bangor, though has a bit to find to overturn previous running here with SIR MATTIE. Paul Maloney has struck up a good understanding with David Rees' charge, who has become something of a track specialist and should again beat recent course winner Raduis Bleu on today's terms. He is the selection with Very Stylish and Mabel Tasman both returning from a spell on the sidelines and Whispering Jack needing to improve on his Worcester second to figure.
