Pharhelion has a chance off his current mark and so does Force Group but both are returning from a lay-off. There are doubts about Transformer's ability to stay this trip but Mister Frosty has no such concerns given he won his maiden over C&D last week and should go well again. It was puzzling to see MUSH MIR dropped back in trip last time as he ran out an easy winner over C&D on his previous start. The handicapper took umbrage and raised him 9lb but there should be more to come from Jim Boyle's charge over this distance and he gets the vote.
