Runner Bean, Jericho III, Fier Goumier and Ceresfield are the three we like here with the vote going to Runner Bean. The selection has been in good form of late and ran well last time when a decent third behind Fiery Peace on this track. The booking of Richard Johnson catches the eye and with conditions to suit he is taken to score. Jericho III would rate the main danger on his best form but he is proving to be a little frustrating and he can't be backed with any real confidence after failing to complete the race on each of his last two starts. Fier Goumier hails from a yard that has to be respected but did not look to have the best attitude in defeat last time and is another that is passed over. Ceresfield is eased in grade slightly but was well beaten here last time so will have to improve to trouble the principles and for the winner we return to Runner Bean.
