Verdict

We will side with Treetops Hotel in a modest opener, and he is selected ahead of Moon Emperor and Gaelic Roulette. From a falling mark, Moon Emperor cannot be ruled out, while a four-pounds rise for his Kempton win should still see Gaelic Roulette competitive. Treetops Hotel is another that has been given a fair chance by the handicapper based on his best 2006 form, and Bobsleigh could certainly be given a shout based on his best form of the last couple of years if he consents to put his best foot forward. Finally, with Tip Toes' best recent effort having come in a seller, we return to the selection, which is Treetops Hotel.
