Armagueden gets the vote here with Shares and South Bronx rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Shares and although hen has a penalty for that win he looks sure to improve again and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Shares rates the main danger as he was only beaten by a short head last time and is better off at the weights here. However he has since taking a heavy fall so he can not be put forward with any confidence. South Bronx is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Persian Point is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but his overall form leaves him with a little to find and for thew winner we return to Armagueden.
