Louie Louie, Grand Entrance and Woodcote Place are the three against the field with the vote going to Louie Louie. The selection has been in good form since his win at Sandown in June. The handicapper was not hard on him and he still looks capable of landing a win off his current mark. He finished Third to Justin Bustin at Newmarket last time out and that form has worked out well so he is definitely a horse worth staying on the right side of. Grand Entrance came back from a break in great form when finishing second at Warwick and then winning at Newmarket on his penultimate start. He did disappoint last time out though when sent off favourite at Nottingham. After that poor effort he is a horse to treat with caution. Woodcote Place is a maiden but receives weight all round here. He has shown in the past that he possesses enough ability to win races so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Louie Louie.
