Strawman gets the tentative nomination here with Isam Top, Tarongo and Repunzel also worthy of consideration. The selection appreciated the drop in trip when a good winner last time, defeating Isam Top. He should confirm that form with Isam Top and if he can reproduce his latest effort he will be hard to beat. Tarongo also won well last time when beating North of Kala at Fontwell. He got the run of the race that day, but clearly has ability and will not be far away at the finish. Repunzel is a course and distance winner who is dropped in grade so he could be interesting, especially if the market vibes are positive, and if they are it could pay to take the hint. However, Strawman is in good heart at present and gets the narrow vote.
