The two recent winners Jadan and El Potro could fight out the finish here and we just prefer the first named, Brandywell Boy may do best of the others. Eric Alston's charge had been knocking on the door prior to that game success at Ayr. The ground on that occasion was good to soft so any rain would be a help, but he has also gone well on a fsater surface and could be worth chancing whatever the conditions. The connections of El Potro will also be hoping for a downpour as he won very nicely on soft ground here last time out. The handicapper hasn't been too harsh and he has to be on the short list. Brandywell Boy is one that deserves another success having gone close on numerous occasions this season. He is one that likes to hear his hooves rattle so if it is a fast surface he has got to be worth a saver. All in all a tricky affair and Jadan is just a token choice.
