New Wish has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to finally get his head in front here at the main expense of Marcus Eile and Senor Bond. The selection finished third behind Gem Bien in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time and a reproduction of that effort in this easier grade should make him hard to beat. Senor Bond won well last time at Musselburgh when beating Come On and he seems to be at his best over this trip. His form is nothing out of the ordinary but he is entitled to make the frame. Marcus Eile is a fairly consistent sort and he ran well over a longer trip last time at Windsor when narrowly beaten behind Edgehill. He is dropped in trip tonight and for that reason we will oppose him. Love In Seattle may have bounced last time here so it could be dangerous to dismiss him lightly as he had previously won well at Beverely. However, we will stick with New Wish as our idea of the winner.
