Tambourine Davis gets the vote here with Star Award and Valley Hall rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Strawberry and although having a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and under similar conditions he is taken to win again. Star Award rates the main danger but he was third behind the selection last time and is only seven pounds better off for eight lengths so in theory he can not win. Valley Hall was second behind La Grande Villez last time and is another with place claims especially as this longer trip should suit. Of the remainder, Delena is from a top yard and is another to note in the market, but for the winner we return to Tambourine Davis who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
