A series of out-of-form types bar Binnion Bay and we take him to see off Warden Warren and Louisiade. Binnion Bay has been in good heart of late and appears to have relished the switch into banded company. His better form has obtained at Lingfield but he should be able to make it count here against a batch of moderate performers. Warden Warren is difficult to catch right but goes well here and can be expected to thread his way into contention. Louisiade has to be respected from a shrewd yard and having posted placed efforts on the fibersand, he is retried on the polytrack. Jools is watched in the market for any evidence of support whilst Fun Time has shaped like a future winner in the past and is watched in the market. Mon Petite Amour is well drawn on Kempton debut. Binnion Bay is at least in-form and fit and he secures the confident vote.
