Scotty's Future, Arran Scout and Charlie Tango are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Scotty's Future. The selection ran well when a close second behind Cordage on this track last time. He is dropped in trip here which will not inconvenience him and if he can reproduce his latest effort then he will be hard to beat. Arran Scout would have claims on the pick of his form but apart from a win at Southwell on his penultimate start he has been a little disappointing of late and he is difficult to put forward with any confidence. Charlie Tango is another who would have claims on the pick of his form from last year, but he hasn't been seen on the racecourse since December and he may just need the run today. The booking of Paul Hanagan for Nuzzle catches the eye and he is another with place claims, but for the winner we return to Scotty's Future.
