Fait Le Jojo gets the vote in the seller with Red Sun and Indian Star rating the main dangers. The selection would win this easily on his best form of a couple of seasons ago and although he is not as good as he was he was he shaped well when fourth behind Zimbabwe in a claimer. This looks easier and with the booking of Tony McCoy also catching the eye he looks the one to be on. Red Sun rates the main danger on his latest second in similar grade behind Freedom Flying but consistency is not his strong point. Indian Star is another that could go well but he was behind the selection last time out and on the same terms here there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. Of the remainder Seattle Robber could improve for the fitting of a first time visor and should be watched in the market while Airedale Lad is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Fait Le Jojo.
