Anuvasteel can supplement his recent course success by beating Master Theo and Obrigado. Neville Callaghan's four-year-old and been threatening to land another victory before easily accounting for Authority in that amateur riders event. That race was over ten furlongs but he is just as effective at this shorter distance and he looks the one to beat today. Master Theo wasn't beaten far in the Rosebery Handicap at Kempton last time and is well treated by the conditions of today's event, he should be the main threat to the selection. Obrigado hasn't been seen since September but does have strong claims on the pick of last season's form. The best of the others could be Whitsbury Cross, but Anuvasteel is at the top of his game at the moment and is hard to oppose.
