Arnprior,Tharua and Sound And Vision look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the nomination is given to Arnprior. The selection was a fair fourth last time out behind Whitethorne doing all his best work at the finish. The step up in trip looks sure to suit and if he gets away on terms he will be hard to beat. Tharua rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind Della Salute as this represents a drop in class and he should be noted in the market. Sound And Vision is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Corker but he is a difficult ride and everything will need to fall right if he is to score. Of the remainder Nepal is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Arnprior who will like the trip.
