A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Gee Aker Malayo, Golly and Caislean Na Deirge and the tentative nomination is given to Gee Aker Malayo. The selection was a fair second behind Manoubi last time out, looks sure to suited by the drop in trip and off the same mark he looks a value bet here. Golly rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bollitree Bob but he again looks vulnerable under top weight. Caislean Na Deirge was a fair third behind Donovan last time and is another with place claims but he looks in the handicapers grip at present. Cumbrian Knight has conditions to suit and could go well at a price while Mr Tee Pee travles well but finds nothing off the bridle and with this in mind Gee Aker Malayo gets our vote.
