Another competitive handicap to exercise our minds here and after that workout we side with WIGRAM WILLIE just ahead of Minority Report and Celtic Change. The selection from Kevin Ryan's yard looks to be off a nice rating here which is just one pound higher than his last success. He's run well under heavier burdens in a few starts since and he is versatile in regards to the ground. Minority Report is also now at a mark just a pound higher than the last time he scored but his form under heavier ratings haven¿t been as good as the selections but he should go well. Celtic Change ran well off a similar rating the last time we saw him and should be in the mix again while Wovoka should be respected as he chases a hat-trick but his mark is getting on the high side. A case could be made for a few of the others here too but in a very tight contest we side with Wigram Willie.
