We end with a trappy looking sprint handicap and after just missing out off this mark last time LOUPHOLE is our choice ahead of Gwilym and Super Frank. The selection has shown improved form since dropping to his current mark and he found just one two good last time. He was ahead of a subsequent winner that day and with conditions in his favour he looks set for another big run. Gwilym is more of a five furlong specialist but he has won over this trip in the past and racing off a rating a pound below his last winning mark he has to be considered. Super Frank won back to back races in late April and he has a good strike rate at this track. That alone puts him on the shortlist but his mark now looks a little tasty so he is definitely a challenger. Bateleur's last effort was a little off putting but if bouncing back to form he should be on the premises but after a recent solid run of form Louphole just lands the vote.
