Verdict

Richie's Delight has been in good form of late and will handle the forecast good to firm going so is narrowly preferred as the TEAMtalk selection in the closer. Ferdy Murphy's charge was a fine runner-up in a similar contest at Huntingdon last time and looks the safest option with question marks against the opposition. Guru should appreciate the step up in trip and is probably capable of further progress but may find conditions faster than ideal while Just A Minute ran abysmally on his handicap bow in June and has not been seen since and Safe Enough looks poor on the evidence to date.
