Jennverse gets the confident vote here with Aintnecessarilyso and Warden Warren rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Firework and with the step up in trip sure to bring about more improvement he is hard to oppose. Aintnecessarilyso rates the main danger on his latest third behind Tartan Special but he will need plenty of luck in running and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Warden Warren is another that could go well on his best form but he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on he looks worth opposing. The remainder have shown little of late and for the winner we return to Jennverse who will be hard to beat.
