Malech has to be high on the list here on past performances but is running poorly at present and so we prefer the chances of Lansdown, Playtotheaudience may do best of the others. The selection hasn't raced for over a year but put in some solid efforts last term including a close up fourth in a stronger race at Newcastle. If she is anywhere near fit enough she should be good enough to land a race of this nature. Malech's two efforts this campaign have been uninspiring, but if back to his best he would have strong claims. Playtotheaudience is running well enough at present but the best form appears to be over a shorter trip. Of the others Ellies Faith can be given a squeak on recent efforts, however in a very mediocre event we just prefer Lansdown.
