Megaton, I'm Your Man and Court One are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Megaton. The selection won well last time out when beating Sun Hill and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. I'm Your Man rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Leadaway but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance has to be of concern. Court One is another that could go well as he also won last time out when beating Micheals Dream but that was on a much softer surface and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Ela Re is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the return to Megaton.
