High Class Problem is taken to get the better of Daaweitza and Great Chieftain. The selection finished a fair second behind Cindertrack at Brighton last time when he was the beaten favourite. However, the form has since been franked so we are prepared to give High Class Problem another opportunity to recoup losses from that Brighton defeat. Daaweitza is running well at present and he lost no caste in defeat when a good second behind Prince Evelith at Newcastle last time. However, that rival has since been a beaten favourite to give the form a slight knock. Great Chieftain did not see out the trip at Carlisle last time so he should fare better today now that he returns to racing over 7f. Pab Special is from a yard that have gone off the boil so he is readily opposed and for the winner we will return to High Class Problem.
