My Pal Val, Southern Bazaar and Fisby are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to My Pal Val. The selection won well last time out when beating Classical Love. However that was over two years ago but his stable are well capable of readying one after a long absence and he is taken to score with this in mind. Southern Bazaar rates the main danger as he beat Aston with plenty in hand last time out. However he looks vulnerable under his penalty and on old ratings he still has plenty to find with the selection. Fisby is another worthy of respect as he beat Turbo last time. However this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty, especially as he is not the most consistent. Clock House is from a yard in form and looks capable of better so he should be watched in the market. But in the hope that he is fit after his long absence for the winner we return to My Pal Val.
