Sleep Bal won well last week and can score again here at the main expense of Indien Royal and Mondul. The selection has had his problems but he won in good style last Sunday when defeating Limerick Boy at Exeter and with his stable finding their form he is difficult to oppose. Mondul was a fair second behind Greenhope at Plumpton last Monday but fails to convince with his jumping and for that reason we will take him on. Indien Royal has finished second on each of his three runs over fences and although there are races to be won with him, he may have to play second fiddle to our selection again here. Premier Estate is the other to consider as he won well last time and he will be suited by the drop in trip, but for the winner we return to Sleep Bal who won well last week and is the one to with again here.
