Recent winners Freak Occurrence and Fraternity look set to fight out the finish her with preference for the first named, Weet A Head looks best of the remainder. Emma Lavelle's four-year-old has shown improved form with each outing this season, culminating in a smooth victory over Master Mahogany at Bath. The success was gained off a slow pace as well and he will be much better suited coming off the fast pace he should get today. Fraternity is the one that should set the strong gallop, he powered into an early lead last time over the mile trip here and burnt his rivals off easily. If the selection has trouble finding a way through Fraternity should be the one to benefit. Weet A Head chased home Intricate Web at Ripon last time and should give each-way supporters a run for their money. Snowed Under could be the pick of the remainder, however Freak Occurrence will have the race run to suit and is our clear choice.
