On The Trail, Eastern Dagger and Only One Legend look the three to concentrate on here and we will give the nomination to On The Trail. The selection is a course and distance winner who is well-in on official BHB ratings and with conditions to suit he should take a good deal of beating. Eastern Dagger has been running over hurdles and over a variety of trips, but he is at his best over 7 furlongs and he is another that looks well treated on the pick of his form. Only One Legend has not won for over a year but he did hint at a return to form when finishing third behind Danakim at Nottingham last month. He is on a handy mark and if he is in the mood he could go well. Of the remainder, Air Of Esteem and Dispol Peto have both got winning form on this track and can't be dismissed lightly, but for the winner we return to On The Trail.
