Mozafin is given the confident vote in the opener with Eskdale and Harrys House put forward as the main danger. The selection ran well enough last time out when a good second behind Im Spartacus. That was a decent effort and as he is proven on a softer surface he looks the one they all have to beat. Eskdale ran well behind Toldo last time at Musselburgh but he left the impression that day that he would be suited by a stiffer test and the suspicion is that he may do better over further in time. Harrys House has shown plenty of promise on his two starts to date but those runs have been over five furlongs and he tackles seven furlongs for the first time here. Desperation made a promising debut despite missing the break over five furlongs at Southwell last time so may do better here, but for the winner we return to Mozafin.
