Pass The Class,Random Native and Green Finger are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Pass The Class. The selection won well over course and distance last time out when beating Silver Bow and although having a penalty for that win he is unexposed and he is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Random Native rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Lord On The Run but this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Green Finger is another that could go well as he won a chase in good style last time out when beating Brearaway. However he returns to hurdles off what looks a high enough mark and is passed over for that reason. Crosby Don is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Risky Rhythm looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to the unexposed Pass The Class.
