Sun Hill, Late Arrival and Considine are on the shortlist here and preference is for Considine. Late Arrival has been dropped to claiming class recently and has won twice in fine style. He will have gained confidence from those wins and will go well but reverts to handicap company here and will find this tougher with a penalty. Sun Hill sets the standard but has to carry top weight and the handicapper seems to have this one under control. Considine has been running into form and has no problem with the trip. He ran well behind Best Port at Catterick and has proven form in handicaps of late, unlike some of his rivals. He still seems well treated in comparison to a number of his rivals and Considine gets the vote.
