This is another competitive event in which Labelled With Love, Franksalot and City For Conquest look to have leading claims and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The selection had the worst of the draw last time so it was an eyecatching effort for him to finish second behind Efistorm in a claimer last Friday at Wolverhampton. He has no such problems with the draw today and he could gain a deserved success. Labelled With Love ran well enough last time over 7f but he is much better over this trip and he has to be respected as he is clearly in good heart. Franksalot is a course and distance winner but it was a little disappointing that he could not score here last time as he had the best rider on board in a weak amateur riders' event and he could only finish third behind Mozakhraf. Binnion Bay is probably better over 7f these days so is passed over and for our seelction we will nominate City For Conquest to maintain his consistent recent form.
