Vhujon is selected here ahead of Hunt The Bottle and Edge Of Gold. Vhujon has improved over the last couple of months and comes here on the back of a rattling good effort when second in Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy. A repeat of that run would give him a good chance. Hunt The Bottle starts handicap life on a reasonable mark following his gritty Haydock win on soft going, while, should the rains come, Edge Of Gold, who relished soft at Newmarket last time, would hold solid claims. There are, of course, plenty of potential improvers in the field as the penny will begin to drop for a number of these as autumn appears and, of course, with the potential for a going change also there. These are things to bear in mind but, once again, for the selection, we will stick with Vhujon.
