Senora Snoopy gets the confident vote here with Scarvagh Diamond and Missis Potts rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Silver Snitch last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under condditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Scarvagh Diamond rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bywell Beau but he has often pulled to hard for his own good and at likely odds he is taken on. Miss Potts was a fair fourth on her debut behind Classic Fiddle and is sure to improve but the suspicion is she may just need the run after a 256 day abscence. Of the remainder Tastes Like More is from a yard in form but he is more exposed than the selection Senora Snoopy who will be hard to beat.
