SEIZE is the call in this decent contest with Something Silver and Ocarina among the dangers. Ferdy Murphy's charge has been a reliable enough conveyance on fast going in the past but ran lamentably at Hexham last time out. If that were treated as a mere bad day at the office, we have to give him a chance to atone. Something Silver has no weight in comparison and if staying the trip, has to be a very tangiable contender. Ocarina is often well supported in races of this nature so a note of his position in the market is advised. Eyre Square is a proven front runner and he can be anticipated to go well. Not Left Yet has the class to win a race of this nature though recent efforts have left a lot to be desired. Oscar Honey was a welcome winner for Rose Dobbin but faces a stiff task off top weight. Seize is the selection.
