Tip Toes gets the vote here with Overlook and Naini Tal rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Arch Folly last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Overlook rates the main danger as he hails from a yard in form is dropping in class, stepping up in trip and should be closely watched in the market. Naini Tal is another that could go well as he has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date and should be noted in the market while Riff Raff is clearly thought capable of better but in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Tip Toes to small stakes.
