Once again, this is not a straightforward race to work out, but, as the selection, we will side with Super Dominion ahead of Easter Ogil, Raheel and Temper Tantrum. Admittedly, the selection was disappointing last time, although he is seven pounds better off from that race with Easter Ogil for three-and-a-half lengths. In selecting him, though, we are banking on the fact that the first-time visor gets him to concentrate more fully. If so, he holds a decent enough chance. As indicated, Easter Ogil can be given a chance too, while Temper Tantrum is just a pound above a winning all-weather mark. Ok, that came at Wolverhampton but he was staying on last time and is upped in trip today, which could yet produce improvement. Kingsdon won from a pound-lower mark in June, but has been disappointing lately, while much as all of Wind Chimes' winning form has come on Turf, he only buckled close home over course and distance last time. However, he could be similarly vulnerable today. Lawaaheb ran fairly well from a modest draw last time, with State Of Balance just behind him, while Raheel won over course and distance from a one-pound lower mark a year ago, was staying on late last time and could go well today. The Barney Curley-trained Bold Phoenix has little to recommend him on what he has so far shown, which spins us back to the selection, which is Super Dominion.
