One More Round gets the confident vote in this claimer with Mine Behind and Mango Music rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair ninth in a much better race behind Tamagin last time out, this represents a big drop in class and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Mine Behind rates the main danger on his latest second behind New York Oscar but consistency is not his strong point and at likely odds he is taken on. Mango Music is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Magic Glade. He has a good draw and will not be far away. Regal Raider is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but one win in 18 starts is off-putting. Of the others Pegasus Dancer is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to One More Round.
