SINGLEB can prevail from Murrin and Tuxedo in a tight handicap. He will have to defy a penalty and a career high mark if he's to complete his four-timer but he hasn't looked back since joining Gay Kelleway and has formed a really good partnership with Jamie Spencer. His style of racing should suit this track and he can go close. Murrin drops back to this trip for the first time in a couple of years which has to be a concern but he's running well enough at present to believe that he should be a factor. Tuxedo's three wins have come at Kempton and he was outpaced when the pace quickened at Wolverhampton last time before keeping on; there's a concern that the same scenario could unfold here. There are a fair few others that could feature as you'd expect but we fancy Singleb to keep his good run going.
