This looks a golden opportunity for UNDER FIRE who is taken to get the better of Dr Synn and Alexander Guru. The selection has been knocking on the door for a while now and he was only narrowly beaten at Brighton last time. He has a good draw and he will try and burn them all off. Dr Synn won last time but he can hardly be backed with confidence as that was his first win since 2005 and he has a poor draw today. Alexander Guru is not sure to be suited by this drop in trip so although he has been running well of late he looks worth opposing. Having A Ball is a course and distance winner and he has a good draw so he looks to have a solid each-way chance. However, Under Fire has been running well and he can get his reward today.
