Plenty in with claims in this race but Home probably has the most scope in terms of progression and he gets the nod to win again at the main expense of Bridge Of Fermoy. The selection has already paid his way this season with nearly ¿10,000 of prize money earnt and given the way he smashed his rivals last time out at Southwell it is not hard to envisage him adding more today. He isn't the best treated at the weights but this is his grade and he can win again. Mujahope has solid claims at the weights but he has become frustrating to follow and needs a return to form, whilst Coral Shores is the only course winner in the lineup and needs respect accordingly. Bridge Of Fermoy is very consistent but his best runs have been at Kempton although a return to claiming company will help today. Henry James drops in class today whilst Little Firecracker tries the shades for the first time in the hope of eeeking out some improvement. Not a bad start to the day, very competitive, but Home can win again.
