Caerlaverock, Little Promise and Soft Spoken Guy are the principals here, with Caerlaverock the selection. Little Promise had shown only modest form before scoring last time at Newcastle. That was a significant improvement and further progression can see him play a part in the finish. Soft Spoken Guy has been running in decent company of late, and acquitted himself well, finishing runner-up here and then placed in a good handicap event at Haydock. He looks a threat. Caerlaverock enjoyed the more testing service when scoring last time, and provided conditions do not dry out too much, Caerlaverock looks capable of following up.
