Burgundy, Private Seal and Cal Mac are the three we like with the vote given to the last mentioned. The selection ran well last time when second behind Zeis at Brighton and the winner that day has since gone on to frank the form with a convincing win at Leicester. With conditions to suit here Cal Mac looks the one to beat. Private Seal was behind our selection that day at Brighton and there is no obvious reason why that form should be reversed, although it is still reasonable to expect Private Seal to make the frame again. Burgundy is on a hat-trick here and could not be in better form so he looks likely to give another good account of himself on a surface that clearly suits. Figura has been badly out of form of late but would not be out of this on the pick of her form, but we will stick with Cal Mac as the one they all have to beat.
