Tamagin may win again as he scored with something in hand last time out and so he is the nomination ahead of Ajigolo and Wyatt Earp. Kevin Ryan's charge has been in consistent form all season and whilst he continues to rise up the weights (7lb rise for his recent Doncaster win), another big showing should be expected. Ajigolo comes here chasing an all-weather hat-trick and Mick Channon's gelding is one to be wary off, despite a 4lb rise in the weights. Wyatt Earp was slightly unlucky in running at Doncaster last time out when behind the selection, and with a 7lb pull in the weights he may get closer. Resplendent Alpha hasn't been in top form so far this year however he has been given a break since his last run and his wins have come at this time of year in the past. One More Round has been running well in defeat in better races however after a long season he may just be longing for the bell, whilst Little Edward is inconsistent but capable on his day. At a price Diane's Choice could run well as she has show an affinity for the all-weather in the past. An open handicap, but class act Tamagin is fancied to score.
