Zelos, Mick Is Back and Our Herbie are the three horses to note here with the vote going to the last named. The selection does have top claiming price and as a result has the task of carrying top weight around. He has not won since winning a nursery last September and has since been dropped into this company. His latest effort was when finishing second at Lingfield to Zelos and they meet on the same terms this time but since they last met Zelos was beaten into third place in similar company. There is little to choose between these two but the preference is for Our Herbie to turn the tables. Of the others Mick Is Back is given a chance as he has proven winning form in this grade most latterly when winning at Newmarket last month. Since then though he was exposed back in handicap company when fifth of of nine at Warwick but dropped back in grade he has to be respected. But for the winner we return to Our Herbie to reverse placings with Zelos.
