Josear gets the confident vote here with Disobey and Laurollie rated as the main dangers. The selection lost no caste in defeat when a good second behind Jamaican over this course and distance last time. He had previously gone close at Wolverhampton and if he can run up to the level of his last two efforts then he will be hard to beat. Disobey is interesting as she hails from a top yard and she came from a long way back to grab second at Goodwood last time behind Forehand. She ran green that day and there should be more to come so she is certainly one who has to be considered. Laurollie is nothing out of the ordinary but she was unlucky in-running last time at Yarmouth behind Shades of Green. She is clearly in good heart at present and looks to have decent place prospects. Looking Good has claims but will need to improve on what he has shown to date, and for the winner we will return to Josear.
