Kingscourt Lad gets the confident vote in this seller with Charlie Tango and Tinian rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Stoksies Boy in a better race last time out, this represents a drop in class and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Charlie Tango rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind Barney but that form has since been let down and although dropping in grade the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Tinian is another that could go well on his latest third behind Mystic Glen but he is very hard to win with. Of the remainder Maunby Reveller is from a shrewd yard and could improve for the fitting of a first time tongue tie and cheek pieces so should be noted in the market while Smart Tiger is another dropping in grade from a yard in form but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Kingscourt Lad.
