Another small field goes to post for this chase and the principals look to be Pessimistic Dick, Dragon King and Sylphide and the selection is Pessimistic Dick. The ten year old shaped as if returning to form when second behind Lisdante last time out and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Dragon King rates the main danger he was a fair fifth behind The Hearty Joker last time and this looks easier. Sylphide is also worthy of respect he was a fair third behind Lorenzino last time out and that form has since been franked so he should go well. Hardy Breeze is a course and distance winner that is worth noting in the market but he has a fair absence to overcome so we are happy to stick with Pessimistic Dick
