Tony The Tap, Jonny Ebeneezer, Juste Pour L'Amour and Corps de Ballet look the principles in another tight handicap and the nomination is given to Jonny Ebeneezer. The selection had Tony The Tap behind in second when they last met and that rival is better off at the weights. However, Tony The Tap was entered at Epsom on Thursday and it will be interesting to see if he takes up this engagement. Jonny Ebeneezer was disappointing last time out on the AW but with the return to turf sure to suit and off what still looks a fair mark he is taken to score. Juste Pour L'Amour ran as if returning to form when fourth behind Jonny Ebeneezer last time. He is better off at the weights here and should get much closer to the selection. Corps de Ballet would have a chance on her best form but is far from consistent so can't be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder, Desert Lord looked a progressive sort when last seen so is worth noting in the market, but he may just need the run after a 650 day absence and for the winner we return to Jonny Ebeneezer.
