Verdict
Benmore Boy, Shindig and SERGHEYEV have the best form on offer here and we'll take a chance with the latter but it will be interesting to see whether Cootehill attracts any support. Brendan Powell's runner was bought by his current owner following an impressive debut success in a Leopardstown bumper but struggled to make an impression for David Pipe and then for Brendan Powell. However, he ran out an impressive winner on his return to action at Newton Abbot at the end of last month and may yet fulfil that initial promise. This will provide a sterner test of his mettle but he's worth sticking with for the time being. Irish raider Shindig has to be feared and is likely to be popular with Tony McCoy taking the ride. There was a lot to like about his latest effort in a Galway handicap and he should be there or thereabouts. Benmore Boy failed to defy a penalty at Uttoxeter last time where he was hampered in the early stages but his patient handler is sure to get more out of him and this step up in trip should be in his favour. Confidence behind the likes of Nikos Extra, Cootehill and Anay Car would be worth noting but our vote is awarded to Sergheyev.
