Archirondel, Oscar Pepper, Arjay and Wilson Bluebottle are the four to concentrate on here and a chance is taken on Oscar Pepper. The selection is a course and distance winner who loves it round here, and he should be ready to take his chance now after a couple of recent outings. He has been a little disappointing in those two runs but they came after a 7 month break from the track and they should have put him spot on for today. Wilson Bluebottle would have a good chance here on the pick of his form, but he may struggle to see out this trip and for that reason he is passed over. Archirondel ran well when second behind Rocinante on this track last time and he looks as though he is running into a bit of form. He should appreciate this faster ground and with no trip worries he could go well. Arjay has been in fair form of late and can never be ruled out in these type of events, but for the winner we return to the course specialist Oscar Pepper.
