Right To Play gets the vote in a competitive finale with Power of Future and Peppertree others to consider. The selection is a lightly-raced colt and he ran well last time when he finished a close second behind Fantoche at Wolverhampton. He hung left under pressure that day but he remains open to plenty of improvement and with the step-up in trip sure to suit he looks the one to beat. Power Of Future was disappointing last time but she is a nice filly and although she looks more exposed than our selection, she should be suited by this faster ground. Peppertree did not appear to see out the trip on her seasonal reappearace at Salisbury last time so it will be interesting to see how she fares today now that she has more of a fitness edge. Mabel is from a shrewd yard and is worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will return to the progressive Right to Play.
