Fat Boy gets the confident vote here with Spanish Bounty and Lesson In Humility rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Strike The Deal last time out, that form looks solid and under similar conditions here he looks the one to be on. Spanish Bounty rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind Raven's Pass, winners have come out of that race and with fast ground back in his favour he will not be far away. Lesson In Humility was second behind Sporting Art last time and is another with place claims but the draw could have been kinder. Of the remainder Fits Of Giggles won well on her debut but needs to improve to win this and with this in mind for the winner we return to Fat Boy.
