The selection is Assumetheposition with dangers coming from Red Flyer and Longstone Loch. The Richard Guest-trained Assumetheposition can take this seller after a good third on his last outing and even if not blessed with a great turn of foot should have the legs of the opposition here. Red Flyer would need to improve on the poor run at Musselburgh last time out and Longstone Loch may provide a bigger threat after showing a revival in form behind Jodante at Fakenham. But, the selection is Assumetheposition in this modest contest.
