Vittorioso, Knead The Dough and Faithisflying are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Vittorioso. The selection was disappointing last time at Lingfield over 7f when down the field behind Big Mystery. Faithisflying finished ahead of our selection that day, but the drop back to 6f should suit Vittorioso who goes well here and gets on especially well with today's pilot Adam Kirby. Faithisflying is not the most consistent and might be better over further than today's trip on the evidence of his last effort. Knead The Dough ran flat last time and he would be interesting here on the pick of his form. However, he is basically disappointing and as a consequence we are happy to oppose him. Shadow Jumper put up an improved effort which suggested he might be returning to form last time, so he is worth noting in the market, but Vittorioso looks to have plenty in his favour today and edges the narrow vote.
