Reversionary, Super Dominion and Breezit are the three to concentrate on here, with the first named just edging the decision. Mick Easterby's gelding hit winning form back in July and hasn't really run a bad race since. His most recent outing came in a similar race to this at Ayr, where he chased home Top Style. There are no worries with the surface as he performed with credit over course and distance during the summer, so he does hold very strong claims. Super Dominion won a better race than this over course and distance in the summer and following some poor efforts bounced back to his best when chasing home Vermillion Creek at Pontefract last time, he looks the main threat to the selection. Breezit wasn't beaten far in a classified event at Wolverhampton last time and should certainly be vying for a place. Mel Brittian's Dasar is another that catches the eye on recent efforts, but Reversionary has a lot more scope for improvement than most of these and gets the nod.
